Question

after you mix the dry ingredients into the egg batter, remember to carefully add the chocolate chips.
what is the best way to correct the sentence above?
a. change into to in and to.
b. move carefully after chips.
c. add hyphen between chocolate and chips.
d. remove the comma after batter.

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Changing "into" to "in and to" is incorrect as the original preposition "into" is appropriate for mixing dry ingredients into the batter.
• Option B: Moving "carefully" after "chips" would make the sentence "add the chocolate chips carefully", which is grammatically correct but changes the intended adverb placement (originally modifying "add"). However, the main issue is not adverb placement here.
• Option C: "Chocolate chips" is a compound noun without a hyphen, so adding a hyphen is incorrect.
• Option D: The comma after "batter" is unnecessary as the phrase "remember to carefully add the chocolate chips" is a direct continuation of the main clause. Removing the comma corrects the sentence structure.

Answer:

D. Remove the comma after batter.
