Answer 1

Answer:

Lengthen sentence 10 by adding detail to it.

Answer 2

Answer: The most effective way to vary the sentences in the passage is to start sentences with different parts of speech.

Explanation: The passage provided is too repetitive, whcih means it fails at adding variety in its sentences. For example, all sentences from 2 to 5 start with the pronoun "it". Moreover, sentences 7, 8 and 9 begin with the word "Jody". This problem can be solved by starting sentences with different parts of speech: for instance, transitions, adverb phrases or prepositional phrases can be used to introduce these sentences.
