This sentence contains a comma splice. It has two independent clauses joined only by a comma. In order to fix this you'd add the conjunction "so" between 'scientists' and 'it'.

Correct Answer:

My mother and father are both scientists so, it must have been my destiny to become interested in biology.

Incorrect Answer:

My mother and father are both scientists, it must have been my destiny to become interested in biology.

This sentence is in fact a run on sentence.
To fix it you can:
1. Add a period: My mother and father are both scientists. It must have been my destiny to become interested in biology.
2. Add a semicolon: My mother and father are both scientists; it must have been my destiny to become interested in biology.
3. Add the word "so": My mother and father are both scientists so, it must have been my destiny to become interested in biology.

Answer:

The statement which is the best evaluation of this paragraph is:

a. The paragraph is sound but needs more supporting evidence to be complete

Explanation:

The option a is correct as in this paragraph the writer has told us that the parents must choose how to play their roles in the development of interests of their children. The paragraph is written well but lacks complete supporting evidence. It should include some examples to make it a comprehensive one.
The option b is not correct as the paragraph has a topic sentence.
The option c is also not correct as the paragraph is focused and has clarity as it is about the role of parents in the interest development of their children.
The option d is incorrect as the first sentence is not disconnected from the whole discussion rather it is relevant to the whole idea of the paragraph.

Imagery The description of the corpse as “but they couldn't make nothing out of the face, because it had been in the water so long it warn't much like a face at all.” This uses a vivid description of the scene as if the reader is able to see it with his own eyes. The details of the image of the corpse and its surroundings seems so real.
