which is the best way to improve this paragraphs sentence fluency?
vary the sentence patterns.
shorten the sentences.
correct the sentence fragments.
fix the comma splice.

Explanation:

The paragraph consists of multiple short, simple sentences with a repetitive subject-verb structure, which reduces fluency. There are no sentence fragments or comma splices, and shortening the already short sentences would worsen readability. Varying sentence patterns (e.g., combining some sentences, using different structures) would improve flow.

Answer:

Vary the sentence patterns.
