Explanation:
Choice C, "parties involved," corrects the grammatical structure by placing the adjective "involved" after the noun "parties," following the standard English syntax for adjective placement.
Explanation:
The most logical order is the order in Option B. Option A is incorrect because sentence 2 (the attendee being removed) cannot occur before the argument that ensued due to the delay. Option C is incorrect because sentence 4 (the individual becoming agitated) must occur before sentence 2 (the individual being removed from the premises). Option D is incorrect because it suggests that the attendee became verbally abusive (sentence 3) before anything occurred that could produce such a response. Option E is incorrect because it does not mention the delay (sentence 1) until the end of the paragraph, while the rest of the paragraph is based on the individual becoming upset because of the delay.
Explanation:
The first sentence of a paragraph should serve to introduce the material in the rest of the paragraph. While all of the sentences are indeed related to the rocks being thrown, crowd control, and arrests, option D does this most clearly. Option A focuses on the beauty of the embassies, Option B is focused on officers working hard, Option C focuses on the rocks, and Option E focuses on vehicle damage, none of which are the focus of the paragraph.
Explanation:
The first part of this sentence (“After listening to instructions”) is an introductory clause. An introductory clause should be followed by a comma. Thus, option A is the correct response.
Explanation:
Option C is correct. The sequence of events logically follows from the suspect fleeing the scene to being apprehended, the search of the vehicle, the suspect's claim of innocence, and finally, being taken into custody for further questioning.
Explanation:
Option B is correct. The sequence of events begins with the driver being asked to exit the vehicle, followed by the detection of alcohol odor, failing the sobriety test, confirmation with the breathalyzer test, and finally, the driver's arrest.
Explanation:
Choice B, "observed fleeing," provides a more formal and descriptive verb choice, enhancing the clarity and professionalism of the report.
Explanation:
Choice D, "during the investigation," offers a more concise and precise description of the witness's cooperation duration, avoiding redundancy and improving clarity.
Explanation:
In the sentence, the construction shifts from past progressive (“was holding”, “adjusting”) to simple past (“set”). To improve this sentence, all should be written using the same construction. The best way to do this is using option D so that they all are written using the past progressive tense.
Explanation:
Choice C, "on him," provides a clearer and more concise description of the location of the discovered substances, avoiding redundancy and improving readability.
Explanation:
In this report, all the terms and phrases are appropriately used and convey the intended meaning clearly. There are no grammatical errors or inaccuracies that require correction.
