How many pauses does the following sentence contain? we also know that when we write research reports, we’re expected to include statistics to back up what we’re saying, whether that’s how many people die from smoking-related illnesses, how many deaths are caused by running red lights, or what the average cost of a college education is a. 5 c. 4 b. 3 d. none of the above select the best answer from the choices provided a b c d

The answer would be 4 pauses,  4 b.

This is because the paragraph has 4 commas, each comma would mean a short pause.

i hope this is right

type of error:

the error in the sentence is a "dangling modifier". a dangling modifier is a phrase, word or clause that "dangles" because there is not target to modify. in this case, "after mopping the floor" is the dangling modifier since it has no word to modify. the noun "house" cannot mop the floor; therefore there is a mistake in the writing of the sentence.
