Question

paragraph.

(1) Baseball is unique because it is the only sport in America that does not have a time clock—although tennis and


softball are not timed, either. (2) Instead, games last for nine innings, unless there is a tie after the ninth, in which case they go extra innings. (3) Nine-inning games last an average of three hours. (4) Extra innings tack on time to an already long game, but the end is always the most exciting part. (5) Most people in the US watch baseball and are fans of their hometown team.

Which sentence should be revised to eliminate a misconception?

Answer 1

Answer:

D). Sentence 5

Explanation:

As per the question, the fifth sentence in the given paragraph needs to be revised to remove the misconception as it conveys an opinion('Most people in the US watch...hometown team' without any supporting evidence that may mislead the readers. The first four sentences provide a factual description of the game of baseball, its distinctiveness due to being timeless, and the rules associated with it. While the last sentence goes off-track and displays a belief that the majority population watches baseball and admirers of their respective home teams. Thus, this must be revised as it not only creates a delusion but also breaks the flow of the idea by immediately shifting from facts to general idea. Thus, option D is the correct answer.
