<p>I need some help, this sentence sounds completely wrong… How would I rephrase this or do you think it’s fine and I should just leave it the way it is?</p>

<p>

<p>definitely rephrase it.</p>

<p>Try something like:
In the Dark Ages people were forced to believe in Christianity without saying anything about it or face a certain death.</p>

<p>People in the Dark Ages were forced to believe in Christianity and if they questioned it they would be killed.</p>

<p>In the Dark Ages people would be killed if they questioned Christianity.</p>

<p>While those aren’t perfect you could try something closer to that, or a combination of a couple.</p>

<p>Thank you! I’m having a total writing block right now and this helped</p>

<p>it probably would be better as two sentences, but since I don’t know the context I wasn’t sure if you needed it as one.</p>

<p>In the Dark Ages people were expected to believe in christianity. those who questioned or did not comply with this religion were often killed.</p>

<p>If you’re wondering, I went with this “People in the Dark Ages were forced to believe in Christianity and if they questioned it they would be killed, which is why many people were silent during this time period.” I just added to the second one (which was perfect btw thanks!) </p>

<p>I’m trying to prove that history is full of moments of silence, and that is my topic sentence for a body paragraph.</p>

<p>Thanks again</p>

<p>Your sentence reminded me of SAT I writing section. I’m glad it’s over, but I analyzed as if it were a sentence improvement question out of force of habit. What the SAT’s can do to you…</p>

<p>^yeah, that’s what I did too.</p>
