Question:

Fyodor Dostoevsky was a Russian novelist. He lived from 1821 to 1881. He wrote "Crime and Punishment" and "The Idiot".
Which of the following sentences CORRECTLY restates the passage?

A Fyodor Dostoevsky, a Russian novelist who lived from 1821 to 1881, wrote Crime and Punishment and The Idiot.
explanation


The sentence "Fyodor Dostoevsky, a Russian novelist who lived from 1821 to 1881, wrote Crime and Punishment and The Idiot" correctly restates the passage.
The original passage has three main points:
- Fyodor Dostoevsky was a Russian novelist.
- He lived from 1821 to 1881.
- He wrote "Crime and Punishment" and "The Idiot".
The sentence correctly restates all three points in the correct order. It also uses the correct verb tenses and pronouns.
The other sentences do not correctly restate the passage.
- The first sentence, "A Russian novelist, Fyodor Dostoevsky, lived from 1821 to 1881 writing "Crime and Punishment" and "The Idiot"," does not mention that Dostoevsky wrote the two novels.
- The second sentence, "From 1821 to 1881, Fyodor Dostoevsky, a Russian novelist, wrote "Crime and Punishment" and "The Idiot," does not mention that Dostoevsky was a Russian novelist.
- The third sentence, "The Idiot of Fyodor Dostoevsky, who was a Russian novelist who lived from 1821 to 1881, wrote Crime and Punishment," is grammatically incorrect. The phrase "The Idiot of Fyodor Dostoevsky" is a dangling modifier, which means it does not modify any specific noun in the sentence.
