Question

I need help with correcting fragments in a sentence. here is how it is written in the book...
One thing remains clear to anyone who heard the lecture. That something needs to be done about the lack of health care.

Here is my correction....
One thing remains clear to anyone who heard the lecture, and something needs to be done about the lack of health care.

Answer 1

I would say "and THAT IS something".

Answer 2

I would just add "that is" and you would be good. :)

Answer 3

ok thanks

Answer 4

It could be written a couple of ways. Two sentences would be best, I think.
One thing remains clear to anyone who heard the lecture. Something needs to be done about the lack of health care.

or (I think this is what you were going for)
One thing remains clear to anyone who heard the lecture, and that is that something needs to be done about the lack of health care.

Although not as clear, this will also work:
That something needs to be done about the lack of health care remains clear to anyone who heard the lecture.

Answer 5

actually just take out the that, and put a comma in place of the period

Answer 6

kate_kelly... That will not be correct.

Answer 7

Another way is like this. Other than the period, no additional punctuation is needed.
It remains clear to anyone who heard the lecture that something needs to be done about the lack of health care.

Answer 8

awww that last one you just posted makes more sense

Answer 9

I think so, too. I wonder if deenarae can change the wording.

Answer 10

probably
