Which section of the following passage needs to be edited for incorrect spelling, incorrect grammar, inappropriate word choice or wordiness?
  1. Gabriel went to the public library,
  2. and checked out The Stranger after
  3. being enthralled by an excerpt
  4. in his AP English class.
Explanation
Answer: A - Corrected version: Gabriel went to the public library

The comma should be eliminated. This comma is out of place because the two clauses are not independent; Gabriel went to the library and Gabriel checked out The Stranger. If you are unsure whether or not a clause is independent, try to identify its subject.
