Question

Read the paragraph.

(1) Baseball is unique because it is the only sport in America that does not have a time clock—although tennis and softball are not timed, either. (2) Instead, games last for nine innings, unless there is a tie after the ninth, in which case they go extra innings. (3) Nine-inning games last an average of three hours. (4) Extra innings tack on time to an already long game, but the end is always the most exciting part. (5) Most people in the US watch baseball and are fans of their hometown team.

Which sentence should be revised to eliminate conflicting information?

sentence 1
sentence 2
sentence 3
sentence 4

Answer 1

sentence 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Sentence 2 should be revised to eliminate conflicting information. It states that games last for nine innings, but it also mentions the possibility of going into extra innings in case of a tie. This creates conflicting information regarding the duration of the games.
