Question

which revision best replaces the telling sentence \he was really bad at video games\ by showing it instead? he wasnt a good gamer, but he still had fun playing. he warned his friends that he didnt play video games much, so he wasnt great at them. he always lost, and his friends knew he wasnt very good. his character spun in circles, missing every target, while his teammates screamed,
ooo!\

Explanation:

To "show" instead of "tell" means using descriptive details or actions to convey the idea. The original sentence tells that he was bad at video games. The option "His character spun in circles, missing every target, while his teammates screamed, 'Nooo!'" shows his poor performance through the actions of his character and teammates' reactions, rather than directly stating he was bad. The other options either still tell (like stating he wasn't great or friends knew he wasn't good) or add unrelated info (like having fun or warning friends).

Answer:

D. His character spun in circles, missing every target, while his teammates screamed, "Nooo!"
