Explain it in your own words
Use the answer as a check after you have written or spoken your response.
01Fix the comma splice: “The timer rang, the student stopped.”
Use a period, semicolon, or comma plus a coordinating conjunction.
02Choose the correct verb: “Each of the samples ___ labeled.”
Use “is” because “each” is singular.
03Why is “very unique” often a poor edit?
Unique already means one of a kind, so “very” adds little.

A colon.
05How can sentence order help a passage section?
