Question: 1 / 160

Which sentence is written correctly?

Ordered with dinner, Abby decided on the roasted garlic potatoes.

Roasted with garlic, Abby decided to order the potatoes with dinner.

Abby decided to order the roasted garlic potatoes with dinner.

The sentence "Abby decided to order the roasted garlic potatoes with dinner." is structured correctly because it clearly states the subject, Abby, followed by the verb "decided," and then presents a straightforward object: "to order the roasted garlic potatoes with dinner." This construction conveys the intended meaning without any ambiguity and maintains proper grammatical structure.

The other sentences contain issues that disrupt clarity or grammatical correctness. For instance, the first option suggests that it was the dinner that was ordered, which can lead to confusion about what action Abby was taking. The second option starts awkwardly with an unrelated participial phrase that does not effectively relate to Abby's decision-making process. Lastly, the fourth option incorrectly presents the potatoes as the subject of the sentence, which makes it sound as if the potatoes made the decision, creating a confusing scenario.
