Question

what does a commentary sentence do?
a. explains the concrete detail
b. tells a fact

Explanation:

To determine the function of a commentary sentence, we analyze each option:

• Option b: Telling a fact is characteristic of a concrete detail or a statement of fact, not a commentary sentence.
• Option c: Getting the reader excited is more related to persuasive or engaging writing techniques, not the primary function of a commentary sentence.
• Option d: Commentary sentences do exist in writing to provide analysis or explanation, so this is incorrect.
• Option a: A commentary sentence's role is to explain or interpret concrete details, adding analysis or insight to them.
