Karen is a powerful singer; she always touches the men, women, and children who hear her. B. Karen is a powerful singer, and she always touches the men, women, and children who hear her. C. Karen, a powerful singer, always touches the men, women, and children who hear her. D. all of the above

Answer 1

The correct revision to make the sentence grammatically correct is:

**B. Karen is a powerful singer, and she always touches the men, women, and children who hear her.**

This revision uses a coordinating conjunction ("and") to connect the two related clauses, making the sentence structurally sound.

Answer 2

The correct revisions for the sentence about Karen, a powerful singer, are using a semicolon, a comma with a coordinating conjunction, or rephrasing with an appositive. Therefore, all provided options A, B, and C are correct; hence, the answer is D. all of the above.

Step-by-step explanation:

The revision that would make the following sentence correct is: Karen is a powerful singer; she always touches the men, women, and children who hear her. This is because the two independent clauses need to be joined by either a semicolon or a conjunction to be grammatically correct. Therefore, options A and B both correct the sentence by using a semicolon and a comma with a coordinating conjunction respectively. Option C also rephrases the sentence correctly by using an appositive. All of the revisions provide a correct solution to the original sentence's issue, thus the answer is D. all of the above.
