“Jojo was arrested by the police BECAUSE he was caught smoking marijuana.”
“Six months later, he was back in jail for assaulting a boy. He got into three more fights with inmates while in detention. His parent had separated and neither of them want Jojo.”
This is my work please help me correct it..
someone answer my work please
You've corrected all the runons just fine, and either your first corrections or your second ones will work well.
I think you mean "parents" in there, though, not "parent," right?? Plural?
Here are the corrected versions of the passage:
1. Jojo was arrested by the police because he got caught smoking marijuana. He stayed in detention for a night because his parent refused to pick him up until morning.
2. Six months later, he was back in jail for assaulting a boy. He got into three more fights with inmates while in detention, as his parent had separated and neither of them wanted Jojo.
3. He was sent to live with an aunt in the province. He kept out of trouble for a year until he got involved in muling drugs. He finally got caught and jailed again for two more years.
4. When he got out, he ran away. His aunt didn't hear about him for some time until she got a call that he had been arrested again for illegal drugs. He was convicted and sent to prison. No one from his family visited him.
In addition, here's an alternative correction for the passage:
Jojo was arrested by the police because he got caught smoking marijuana. He stayed in detention for a night, as his parent refused to pick him up until morning. Six months later, he was back in jail for assaulting a boy. He also got into three more fights with inmates while in detention. Amidst all this, his parent had separated, and neither of them wanted Jojo. Consequently, he was sent to live with an aunt in the province. He managed to keep out of trouble for a year until he got involved in muling drugs. Eventually, he got caught and jailed again, this time for two more years. Upon his release, he ran away, and his aunt remained unaware of his whereabouts until receiving a call informing her that he had been arrested again, this time for illegal drugs. As a result, he was convicted and sent to prison, with no one from his family visiting him.
