1.Even though I don’t play today; I approach everything the same way I did sports when I was younger. 2. However; the moments I like best are the plays I made that didn’t get noticed. 3. It wasn’t what I did; it was just being good enough to represent this country. 4. In high school, we played all the sports; but the seasons were so shorty?

Answer 1

i think its 3...

Answer 2

It's 3. If you look at the questions more carefully, you notice where the grammar mistakes are.
1. In number one, you would use a comma to separate "Even though I don't play today" and "I approach everything" because "Even though I don't play today" cannot stand on its own.
2. "However" is a transitional phrase, which is always at the front of a sentence and is separated from the rest of the sentence by a comma.
3. The semicolon is used correctly in this sentence because it is separating two complete thoughts.
4. It isn't used correctly here because "but the seasons were so short" is not a complete thought and cannot stand on its own.

Therefore, C is the correct answer.
