is it B?
The answer is D, "The United States features three co-equal branches of government. The House of Representatives and the Senate oversee the legislative branch. The president of the United States oversees the executive branch. And the court system, including the Supreme Court, oversees the judicial branch." This is the only answer with the correct capitalization of proper nouns and the last sentence is re-written.

ugh, pls i would genuinely appreciate some help. this is one of the questions that I am greatly struggling with.
a and d are exactly the same. Which answer do I pick?
No, the correct answer would be D.
To determine the correct passage, we need to identify and correct the errors in the original draft. The errors in the draft are:
1. The incorrect capitalization of "house of representatives" and "senate." These terms should be capitalized since they refer to specific institutions.
2. The incorrect capitalization of "executive branch" and "judicial branch." These terms should be in lowercase since they refer to general branches of government.
3. The incorrect capitalization of "court system." This term should be in lowercase since it refers to a general system.
4. The incorrect capitalization of "supreme court." This term should be capitalized since it references the specific institution.
Option D correctly addresses all of these errors and provides a corrected version of the original draft.
