Explanation:

This is an excerpt from Carole Jenkins by Emily Dickinson.

This excerpt has three sentences and we can see that in each one sentence the first word is considering the subject that is representing the rest of the sentence. The sentence 11 is written in passive so it doesn't fit in the excerpt because the rest of it isn't written like that.

If we rewrite this sentence 11 in order to first write the subject and then explain what the subject is doing then we are getting the understandable excerpt that is easy for reading.

sing because that is what they are doing in the sentence
