Hi, Joe!
Here's something I came across as I was browsing the internet:
"The English version of the sentence from question 13 is missing a subject.
Please correct the following sentence by adding the subject to it."
"The safest beaches in Mexico, will find here in the Mexican Caribbean."
This English translation of the original Spanish text was done through Google translate.
Part of the hints given:
"1. You cannot change the sentence at all as far as wording or punctuation."
"2. You can only ADD one little word, the subject."
I tried to answer several times. No luck. I tried nouns, pronouns, revised the sentence but this was not allowed. My brain doesn't seem to know that darn little subject that will make the sentence correct. So, I must turn to the expert. :)

My best effort:
"The safest beaches in Mexico you will find here in the Mexican Caribbean"
I assumed here, of course, that the statement is an advertising tagline--a come-on phrase--and not a complete sentence. There could be other possible constructions. Comments and suggestions, fellow Forum members?

Yep, I tried that too, with the comma after Mexico. Didn't work. ??? I'm sure there are several more acceptable variations that may not necessarily be the correct answer. Thanks for the input and regards!
