Question

Read the passage and highlight sentence fluency errors you find.

Political documents from the time of the United States’ independence are important, other written accounts and even fiction from that time period can be just as valuable. Such as journal entries and poetry. These documents are interesting to read they give glimpses into daily life and values during an important time in our country’s history.

Answer 1

1. There has to be a conjunction between "important," and "other" because otherwise, the sentence doesn't seem coherent. You can place 'but' between those words to make it correct, and to connect the two ideas into one sentence.
2. The phrase 'such as journal entries and poetry' should be placed after 'period' because otherwise, it is located too far from the word it is supposed to describe. So, 'fiction from that time period, such as journal entries and poetry, can be just as valuable.'
3. Again, there should be a conjunction between the words 'read' and 'they' because the way this sentence is written, it doesn't seem connected. You can write either '...are interesting to read because they give..." or '...to read as they give...'
