Every Saturday morning before dawn, Clara opens her bakery to prepare fresh sourdough bread. She mixes flour, water, and wild yeast in a large wooden bowl, kneading the dough until it is smooth and elastic. After letting it rise for several hours, she shapes the loaves and places them into the hot stone oven.

The writer wants to replace the underlined portion with a phrase that most effectively emphasizes the physical effort Clara puts into making the bread. Which choice best accomplishes this goal?

  1. A
    she vigorously presses and folds the heavy dough until she is exhausted.
  2. vigorously pressing and stretching the heavy dough until her arms ache.Cevap
  3. C
    carefully monitoring the temperature of the room to ensure the yeast activates.
  4. D
    laboriously kneading the dough by hand using her physical hands.

Cevap

vigorously pressing and stretching the heavy dough until her arms ache.
The correct option is the phrase that describes Clara pressing and stretching the heavy dough until her arms ache. This choice is grammatically correct as a participle phrase modifying the subject Clara and directly satisfies the writer's goal of highlighting the physical exertion and strength required in the baking process.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the prompt to identify the specific rhetorical goal.
The goal is to select an option that emphasizes the physical effort Clara puts into making the bread.
This establishes the criteria for evaluating the choices.
2
Evaluate the choices for grammatical correctness.
The option beginning with 'she vigorously' creates a comma splice, making it grammatically incorrect. The other choices are grammatically correct.
ACT English requires the correct answer to be grammatically correct.
3
Evaluate the remaining grammatically correct choices against the rhetorical goal.
The option containing 'carefully monitoring' focuses on temperature control instead of physical effort. The option containing 'by hand using her physical hands' is redundant. The option containing 'vigorously pressing' and 'arms ache' perfectly emphasizes the physical exertion.
Comparing choices ensures the selected answer best satisfies all criteria of the prompt.
