Multiple Choice

What can Amia add to first introduce General Henry Heth?

• another important Confederate figure

• The leader of the Confederate troops

• one of these key leaders

Amia realizes that her introductory sentences could be more specific to the information in her writing. Since her writing is not focused on the reasons the war began, she changes part of her sentence to reflect the main ideas of her writing.

She drew a line through the text that she wanted to change and wrote her new words in their place.
