Which revision most effectively corrects the bold sentence fragment?

Add a verb.

Connect the fragment to sentence 4.
Connect the fragment to sentence 6.

Answer 1

Answer: C. Connect the fragment to sentence 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

The sentence fragment "especially during evening rush hour," should be connected to sentence 4.

The fragment is part of a continuing thought from sentence 4. The sentence should read "I often have to stand all the way home becaue there are no seats, especially during the evening rush." These lines should be connected by a comma, rather than a period.
