what is the best way to rewrite sentence 2?
∘ journal entries and poetry can become important historical documents
∘ such as journal entries, poetry, and documents.
∘ journals entries such as poetry and historical documents.

Explanation:

To determine the best rewrite for sentence 2 ("Such as journal entries and poetry."), we analyze each option:

• Option 1: "Journal entries and poetry can become important historical documents" – This makes sense as it provides a complete thought, connecting the examples (journal entries, poetry) to their significance as historical documents, fixing the fragment in the original.
• Option 2: "Such as journal entries, poetry, and documents." – This is still a fragment and the addition of "documents" is vague and redundant as the context is about specific types of written accounts.
• Option 3: "Journals entries such as poetry and historical documents." – Has a spelling error ("Journals" should be "Journal"), and the structure is illogical (poetry isn't a type of journal entry, and mixing with "historical documents" is confusing).

Answer:

A. Journal entries and poetry can become important historical documents
