which is the best way to improve this paragraphs sentence fluency?
○ vary the sentence patterns.

Explanation:

The paragraph consists of multiple simple, short sentences that follow a similar subject-verb structure, making it choppy. There are no sentence fragments, comma splices, and shortening sentences would worsen fluency. Varying sentence patterns (combining some simple sentences, using different structures) will improve flow and fluency.

Answer:

A. Vary the sentence patterns.
