which is the best way to revise sentence 14?
a she was so very nervous.
b very nervous.
c so very nervous was she.
d she very nervous.

Explanation:

To revise sentence 14 ("So very nervous."), we need a grammatically correct and stylistically appropriate option. Option A is a complete sentence but less stylistically impactful. Option B is a fragment. Option D is grammatically incorrect ("She very nervous" lacks a verb). Option C ("So very nervous was she") is an inverted sentence structure, which is grammatically correct and can be used for emphasis, fitting well with the context of emphasizing Millie's nervousness.

Answer:

C. So very nervous was she.
