A student wrote a personal essay about playing an instrument. In some ways, playing the fiddle wasn’t really a choice for me. All of my relatives play music. My mom plays fiddle and my dad plays piano and bass. My grandparents were musicians who met in a bluegrass band. In my family, playing an instrument was kind of taken for granted, like breathing or eating food. I think I was probably six or seven years old before the thought even crossed my mind that playing the fiddle was actually a decision. Sometimes you have a whole lot of different ways of seeing different situations. By that time, I was already hooked. Which revision to the paragraph would make it clearer and more coherent?
Compare the fiddle with other instruments after sentence 3.
Add more details about the grandparents after sentence 4.
Remove sentence 5.
Remove sentence 7.
