Sagot :

After reading both sentences and comparing them, we can choose the following options as to what the revised sentence does NOT do:

C. Use a participial phrase

What is a participial phrase?

  • A participial phrase is formed by a participle, present or past, and other words that complement the meaning of that participle. This type of phrase functions as an adjective in the sentence, modifying a noun.
  • Example: Exhausted by the exercise, Jason fell to the floor.

How about the revised sentence?

  • The revised sentence does not contain a participial phrase. Notice that we cannot find a participle at all in the sentence, be it present or past, much less a whole participial phrase.
  • The sentence, however, is compound. It also incorporates an equal adjective starter and uses an infinitive phrase (to change).
  • With the information above in mind, we can choose letter C as the correct option.
