How would you rewrite "We could watch THE STARS SITTING ON THE BALCONY."?

  1. the stars sitting on the balcony

  2. sitting on the balcony, the stars

  3. on the balcony, the stars sitting

  4. Sitting on the balcony,

The correct answer is: Sitting on the balcony,

Rewording the sentence using "Sitting on the balcony," as the beginning phrase maintains the original sentence structure and subject-verb agreement. Option A does not include a verb, making it an incomplete sentence. Option B reverses the order of the phrases, but still maintains subject-verb agreement. Option C places the subject and verb too far apart, which can be confusing for the reader. Option D is the most effective option as it reorders the sentence in a way that maintains both structure and clarity.
