Reading and Writing · Expression of Ideas · Easy · Answer it here, explanation included.

While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes: 

  • Annie Wu is a prominent American flutist who graduated from the New England Conservatory.
  • She has won multiple national flute competitions.
  • She is best known for a 2011 YouTube video that has been viewed over two million times.
  • The video shows her performing Three Beats for Beatbox Flute, an original work by composer Greg Pattillo.
  • Wu combines flute playing and beatboxing in the video.

The student wants to emphasize Wu’s most well-known achievement. Which choice most effectively uses relevant information from the notes to accomplish this goal?

ExplanationShow

Choice C is the best answer. This describes the achievement for which Wu is best known.

Choice A is incorrect. This choice doesn’t emphasize Wu’s most well-known achievement. It mentions some of her general achievements, but not the one for which she is “best known.” Choice B is incorrect. This choice doesn’t emphasize Wu’s most well-known achievement—it describes several of her achievements equally. Choice D is incorrect. This choice doesn’t emphasize Wu’s most well-known achievement. It describes a piece of music featured in her most well-known achievement.
