We probably couldn’t go to all the stars because they’re too far away. it would take a long time to get there.

the sentences need to be revised for this type of essay because they

a) contain spelling and punctuation errors.
b) contain generalizations and contractions.
c) show a connection between ideas.
d) show the author’s attitude toward the topic.

The correct answer is B. Contain generalizations and contractions.

Explanation:

A generalization occurs when a specific idea is applied to a general category, in simple terms it occurs if a person states something always occur because this person saw it once. In this case, generalization occurs as this person affirms all stars are too far away and thus it will take a long time to get to those stars, however not all stars are as far away as this person believes and this does not mean it will take a long time to get there as new technology can be created, thus, this statement is not true and need revision. On the other hand, contractions refers to the process of shortening words by putting them together, this can be seen in "couldn't" ( could + not) and  "they're" (they + are), contradictions are not correct as they should not be used in formal language and be avoided, thus, contradictions also need to be revised.
