When revising writing for sentence limits, a writer should...

• look at the first and last sentences of a paragraph

• examine one sentence at a time

• throw away the rough draft and start over

• sing each sentence

Which question should a writer consider when revising writing for sentence limits?

• Does this sentence have enough adjectives in it?

• Do I really need a subject in this sentence?

• Is this sentence as long as it can possibly be?

• Does this sentence express a complete idea?

If a sentence communicates more than one idea, the two ideas...

• must have nothing to do with each other

• must be clearly connected

• should use the exact same words but in a different order

• must be written in different colors

How do subjects and verbs work in compound sentences?

• There is one subject for the compound sentence, but each joined sentence has its own verb.

• All the subjects are in the first joined sentence, and all the verbs are in the second joined sentence.

• Each sentence has its own subject and its own verb.

• Compound sentences do not have subjects and verbs.

Which of these compound sentences is punctuated correctly?

• Sarah went to the grocery store, and she bought some cookies.

• Sarah went to the grocery store and, she bought some cookies.

• Sarah, went to the grocery store and she bought some cookies.

• Sarah, went to the grocery store, and she bought some cookies.

Writing a comparison of an apple and a football player probably would not make sense because...

• it might upset the football player

• the writer won't be able to find any information about football players

• they do not share enough similarities

• apples should only be compared to basketball players

Balance in comparison writing means...

• the writer tries to use the same number of words in every sentence

• the writer balances his pencil on his ear when he's not using it

• the writer makes every sentence a compound sentence

• the writer tries to include nearly equal information about both subjects
