Assignment 10 (B)

8. Consider this sentence from Brian’s Hunt:

He had the bow, a laminate straight, almost a longbow, that pulled forty-five pounds at twenty-six inches’ draw.

In this case, what is “draw” and what does “pounds” refer to here?


Origin answer:
“draw” is the distance that the arrow can go and “pounds” refers the longbow what Brian has.


Revision:
“draw” refers to the string with a pulling movement and the “pounds” refers to the weight of power when Brian pulled the bow.

I think that the revision you just did is correct, but I believe that you need to start sentences with capital letters. Instead of writing "“draw” refers to the string with a pulling movement and the “pounds” refers to the weight of power when you pull the bow." you should write "The word “draw” refers to the string with a pulling movement and the word “pounds” refers to the weight of power when you pull the bow."

How can you begin the first word of your revision using a word that may take a capital letter? Using the quotation, a capital letter is not possible. So, what can you do to begin the first sentence the way you normally begin a sentence?
