Read the paragraph.

[1] The 1992 Olympic Games took place in Barcelona, Spain. [2] This marked the first year that professional basketball players were permitted to represent their countries in the games. [3] Previously, only amateur players were allowed to participate such as college athletes. [4] The US squad was called “The Dream Team” because it consisted of some of the best players in the history of the game, including Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, and Larry Bird.

Which sentence should be revised to improve this paragraph’s sentence fluency?
sentence 1
sentence 2
sentence 3
sentence 4

Answer:

I think it's: The third sentence should be revised

Explanation:

The sentence that should be revised to improve this paragraph's sentence fluency is sentence 3: "Previously, only amateur players were allowed to participate such as college athletes."

Sentence fluency is a trait of good writing that refers to the rhythm, flow, and structure of sentences in a written work.

To increase the sentence fluidity of this paragraph, sentence 3 should be changed. "Previously, only amateur players, such as college athletes, were permitted to compete."

The construction of this statement is clunky, and it may be rewritten to make it more fluid.

The following could be changed: "Prior to this year, participation was limited to amateur players, such as college athletes."

Thus, the meaning of the statement remains the same, but the flow and clarity have been improved.
