Question: 1 / 400

Writing a best seller had earned the author a sum of money and had freed him from the necessity of selling his pen for the political purposes of others. Rewrite, beginning with "The author was not obliged..." The new sentence will include

because he had earned

by earning

Rewrite The author was not obliged to sell his pen for the political purposes of others because he had earned a sum of money and was now free to write best sellers.

Option A is incorrect because the author is no longer forced to sell his pen, rather, he has earned enough money to not have to sell his pen anymore.

Option C is incorrect because it implies that the author earned money because he was freed from selling his pen, whereas in the original sentence it was the other way around.

Option D is incorrect because it implies that the author was still selling his pen, but this time for the purpose of earning money. However, the original sentence states that the author is now free from having to sell his pen for political purposes, so it wouldn't make sense for the author to continue selling his pen.
