Question

Determine where you would pause in the following sentence.
The wind gusted through the woods, while the trees continued to stand in a steady atttention

After the wind
Before though
After the woods
Before stand

Answer 1

The most natural place to pause in the sentence is **after "the woods."** This creates a clear separation between the two clauses, making it easier to understand the flow of the sentence.

So the sentence would read: "The wind gusted through the woods, while the trees continued to stand in a steady attention."
