Choose the correct choice - A B C D 

QUESTION 10
The paragraph contains several comma splices and fused sentences. Decide if the underlined selection needs
to be revised or if it is correct as is.
While most visitors to Washington, D.C., visit the well-known memorials, including the Washington Monument,
the Lincoln and Jefferson memorials, and the more recent Vietnam Memorial Wall, a beautiful and lesser-
known memorial is an environmental park that occupies 7.5 acres, it is the Franklin Delano Roosevelt
Memorial. In 1974, Lawrence Halprin was commissioned to design the memorial, he is a respected
environmental designer who has worked on restoration projects and designs in San Francisco, Seattle, and
even Jerusalem. The FDR Memorial has four outdoor galleries, or rooms, that represent his four terms of office,
with trees, waterfalls, sculptures, and pools defining the spaces. The first room represents FDR's first term in
the midst of the Great Depression, the second room represents his leadership of hope through his fireside
chats, the third room represents the difficulties and uncertainties of war, the fourth room represents a brief
moment of peace before his death in office. Although Roosevelt himself disliked being seen in his
wheelchair, one of the sculptures represents him in his chair. He was a chain smoker who was often seen
with his cigarette holder in hand, none of the sculptures include his cigarette. However, he would have
probably appreciated the sculpture with his beloved dog, Fala.
Which option below would be an acceptable revision of the underlined selection?
a. in his wheelchair: one of the sculptures
O b. No revision is necessary.
Oc. in his wheelchair; one of the sculptures
Od. in his wheelchair. One of the sculptures
