Read the excerpt from a report. (1) Stopping trash before it gets to the ocean is way better than having to clean it up in the ocean. (2) The city of Baltimore has a large machine called Mr. Trash Wheel. (3) The machine is powered by the sun and the flow of the river. (4) Floating booms off the front of the machine funnel garbage toward a conveyor belt. (5) The belt takes the garbage from the water and puts it in a dumpster. (6) The trash wheel helps collect garbage in the river after it flows out into the ocean.

Which revision improves the professional tone of the text?

Change sentence 1 to: “Preventing garbage from entering the ocean is more effective than removing waste from the sea.”
Change sentence 2 to: “The city of Baltimore has really cool machine called Mr. Trash Wheel.”
Change sentence 4 to: “Floating booms and a conveyor belt help the machine work its magic.”
Change sentence 5 to: “The belt takes a bunch of the garbage from the water and then tosses it in a dumpster.”

I think the best answer is Change sentence 1

Explanation:

The first sentence repeats the word ocean twice and changing this sentence will improve the way it sounds.

A

Explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

analyze the effectiveness of this excerpt. how does it function within the speech as a whole? how does the structure of the excerpt to convey the speech's purpose and key points? support your argument with evidence from the speech. (10 points)

i think the answer is invented words, rhyming knack, alliteration, and, metaphor.
