College Composition CLEP Prep Practice Exam

How should sentence structure be used when writing?

1. Keep sentences complex to demonstrate advanced writing skills

2. Limit sentence lengths to no more than ten words

3. Add a variety of sentence types and lengths to keep the writing interesting

4. Use a lot of incomplete sentences to make the writing flow more smoothly

The correct answer is: Add a variety of sentence types and lengths to keep the writing interesting

Sentence structure should not be limited to just one type in writing. The use of a variety of sentence types and lengths helps to add interest and flow to the writing. Option A and D are incorrect because they suggest limiting the complexity or length of sentences, which can hinder the expression of ideas. Option B is also incorrect as it is too restrictive and can lead to monotony in the writing. Therefore, option C is the most effective way to use sentence structure when writing.
