Who was regularly cooking with the solar cooker: "With the cooker set up in her yard, ___ regularly cooked vegetables, grains, and meats?"

  1. NO CHANGE

  2. Kerr

  3. one

  4. you

The correct answer is: Kerr

The correct choice provides clarity by specifying who is using the solar cooker. By using a proper noun, "Kerr," the sentence directly attributes the cooking to a specific individual, enhancing the reader's understanding of the action taking place. This specificity allows readers to visualize the scenario more clearly and connects the details of the sentence with a coherent subject. In contrast, using "NO CHANGE" would leave the subject unclear, making the sentence less engaging. Choosing "one" abstracts the subject, removing the personal touch and making the statement generic, while "you" shifts the focus toward the reader, which can create confusion in the context of the narrative. Thus, specifying "Kerr" is critical for both clarity and connection to the main subject of the story.
