Answer

Brief Explanations:

To determine why the paragraph lacks sentence variety, we analyze each sentence's structure:

  • Sentence 1: "Cory..." (starts with subject "Cory").
  • Sentence 2: "Cory..." (starts with subject "Cory").
  • Sentence 3: "Cory..." (starts with subject "Cory").
  • Sentence 4: "Cory..." (starts with subject "Cory").
  • Sentence 5: "Cory..." (starts with subject "Cory").

The other options are incorrect: sentences do not start with dependent clauses, prepositional phrases, or predicates. So the reason is each sentence begins with the subject.

Answer: A. Each sentence begins with the subject.
