3.The Great Coral Reef almost cicles New Zealand it has more marine life than anywhere else in the world.
Numbers 1 and 3 are run-on sentences and need to be divided into two sentences.
Number is fine, except it needs a comma.
How would you correct these sentences?
Number 2 is fine, except it needs a comma.
Of course! I would be happy to help you correct these sentences. Here are the corrected versions:
1. She wants to become an environmental scientist, and she is especially interested in marine life.
Explanation: To correct the sentence, we need to add a comma before "she" to separate the two independent clauses. This creates better sentence clarity.
2. If she can get a scholarship, she would like to spend her senior year in New Zealand.
Explanation: The sentence is already correct. It uses the conditional structure correctly, with "if" indicating a condition and "would like" expressing a hypothetical desire.
3. The Great Coral Reef almost encircles New Zealand; it has more marine life than anywhere else in the world.
Explanation: To correct this sentence, we need to change "cicles" to "encircles," which means to form a circle around something. Additionally, we can add a semicolon before "it," as it provides a stronger separation between the two independent clauses.
