(1 point)

"It was a privilege and not a right, and you don't have it now."
"It was a privilege and not a right, and you lost it."
"It was a privilege and not a right, and you misused it."

IS THE ANSWER D?

What is the original sentence?

Which of the answers is D?

Oh "It was a privilege and not a right, and you misused it."

Ok. I still don't know what the original sentence is, but D is probably the best revision.

To determine the best revision, we need to identify the key idea that needs to be made more specific. In this sentence, the phrase "and you messed it up" is general and lacks specific information about how exactly the privilege was affected.

Option 1: "It was a privilege and not a right, and you don't have it now."
This revision makes the sentence more specific by stating that the privilege has been taken away. However, it does not explain how or why it was taken away.

Option 2: "It was a privilege and not a right, and you lost it."
This revision provides a more specific reason for the loss of the privilege: it was lost. This suggests that the privilege was once possessed but is no longer available. This option adds clarity to the sentence.

Option 3: "It was a privilege and not a right, and you misused it."
This revision introduces a specific reason for the privilege being affected: it was misused. This suggests that the person did something to abuse or misuse the privilege, resulting in its loss. This option provides a clear explanation for what went wrong.

Considering the context of the sentence and the need for specificity, the best revision would be: "It was a privilege and not a right, and you misused it."
