Question

disappointed but understanding, c.b. wells book tour was cancelled so he could spend time with his newborn daughter, and his fans praised him. choose 1 answer: a no change b fans praised c.b. wells when he cancelled his book tour to spend time with his newborn daughter. c the birth of c.b. wells daughter led fans to praise him when he cancelled his book tour to spend time with her. d c.b. wells decision to cancel his book tour to spend time with his newborn daughter was praised by his fans.

Explanation:

• Option A has a dangling modifier. The phrase “Disappointed but understanding” should modify C.B. Wells, not “book tour”.
• Option B is a more concise and clear way to present the information. It shows the cause - effect relationship (cancelling the tour to spend time with daughter leading to praise) in a straightforward manner.
• Option C is wordy. “The birth of... led fans” is less direct than Option B.
• Option D is in passive voice. While it is grammatically correct, it is less engaging than the active - voice construction in Option B.

Answer:

B. fans praised C.B. Wells when he cancelled his book tour to spend time with his newborn daughter.
