Read the sentence. Abashed by the harsh criticism, the mortifying writer decided to rewrite the beginning of the book. What is the best way to revise the sentence?

Your question is incomplete because you have not provided the answer options, which are the following:

A. Change "Abashed" to "Abashing"

B. Change "mortifying" to "mortified"

C. Change "to rewrite" to "rewriting"

D. Change "beginning" to "began"

B. Change "mortifying" to "mortified"

Explanation:

Adjectives ending in -ing describe a quality or the effect that something can have on someone. On the other hand, adjectives ending in -ed describe how someone feels. Thus, the writer feels ashamed, embarrased or humiliated as a result of the harsh criticism.

The rest of the options are grammatically correct, since "Abashed" is the beginning of a participle clause, "to rewrite" is a full infinitive after the verb decided, and "beginning" is a noun.
