PART A  \n## 1.The question asks which edit should be made to correct the sentence.\n\nA.CORRECT.The sentence in the box needs a comma to separate the coordinate adjectives.Coordinate adjectives describe characteristics of the same noun or subject and are connectedwith a comma or \"and.\"This option is the only one that places a comma where it is needed,between the coordinate adjectives \"agile\"and \"athletic.\"  \nB.Incorrect.The option incorrectly adds a comma in the middle of the phrase \"first and only,\"which modifies,or gives additional information about,\"professional basketball player.\"  \nC.Incorrect.The option incorrectly adds a comma between two adjectives that are notcoordinate adjectives.\"Only\"is part of the phrase \"first and only\"and is modifying\"professional basketball player.\"  \nD.Incorrect.The option is incorrect because a comma is not needed to set off the phrase \"toscore 100 points in a single game.\"  \n## 2.The question asks for the most precise revision for the words \"The engineers tried someother things.\"\n\nE.Incorrect.This revision uses the word \"materials\"rather than precisely identifying what theengineers used.  \nF.CORRECT.This option revises the words to be more precise by using the specific words\"tested\"for the verb and \"foam and fiberglass\"for the materials.  \nG.Incorrect.This revision uses the word \"examined\"rather than a word indicating a process ofexperimental trial and error.The sentence also uses the word \"materials\"rather thanprecisely identifying what the engineers used.  \nH.Incorrect.This revision identifies the materials,but the imprecise verb \"worked with\"doesnot specify what the engineers were doing.  \n## 3.The question asks for the revision that corrects the error in sentence structure in the paragraph.\n\nA.CORRECT.As written,the first sentence(\"In 1967 Katherine Switzer...legendary race.\")isa run-on sentence because a comma is used to combine two independent clauses.Independent clauses are complete sentences with a subject and a verb.The clauses—\"In1967 Katherine Switzer signed up for the Boston Marathon using her first and middle initialsinstead of her full name\"and \"at that time,only men were permitted to officially register andreceive a number for the legendary race\"—should be separated with a period instead.Thisrevision correctly places a period after the word \"name\"and capitalizes the word \"At\"toseparate the two independent clauses into two sentences.  \nB.Incorrect.The revision introduces an error into the paragraph and does not revise the run-onin the first sentence.The clause \"Once officials realized a woman was attempting to run inthe race”is a dependent clause functioning as an adverb of the independent clause thatfollows it.Changing the comma after the word \"race\"to a period would incorrectly separatethe adverbial dependent clause from the independent clause.  \nC.Incorrect.The revision introduces an error into the paragraph and does not revise the run-onin the first sentence.The sentence \"Switzer prevailed and finished in just over four hours,paving the way for the official rule change that allowed for the inclusion of women\"is acomplex sentence,which combines an independent clause(\"Switzer prevailed and finished injust over four hours\")and a dependent clause(\"paving the way for the official rule changethat allowed for the inclusion of women\").The clause \"paving the way for the official rulechange that allowed for the inclusion of women\"is not a complete sentence and must stayconnected to the first part of the sentence.Changing the comma after \"hours\"to a periodwould incorrectly separate the dependent clause from the independent clause.  \nD.Incorrect.The revision introduces an error into the paragraph and does not revise the run-onin the first sentence.Changing the comma after \"261\"to a period would incorrectly separatethe modifying clause \"the same number she had worn in that first run in 1967\"from thewords it describes(\"number 261\").Additionally,the clause \"the same number
