After a shipwreck, 11 people are in a lifeboat. You are able to save one wealthy person or the remaining 10 people. Who would you save and why? I'd like to see other people's opinions, as well as what you think of my answer (Below), so how would you answer?
If I was asked the question, "After a shipwreck, 11 people are in a lifeboat. You are able to save one wealthy person or the remaining 10 people. Who would you save and why?" I would answer with "It depends." Or to be more specific, "It depends on age, present or future health issues, criminal records, as well as future intentions (e. g. if the person intends to commit crimes, etc.)". I say this because if any number of people in the group had medical issues that could decrease their chance of survival in the long run or their ability to reproduce, were past criminals, or if the people in the group were older than a specific age, meaning they have a short amount of time to live after I hypothetically save them, then I would not save the 10 people. However, the same goes for the wealthy person. If they were or are a criminal, if they have health issues, or if they are old, I wouldn't save them. It is entirely possible for both the group of people and the wealthy person to fit into any of those deciding categories, and in that case, I would save the group of 10, rather than the single wealthy person, because there would be more people that survive in the long run.

Morei would really appreciate it. his eyes snapped open. a musty smell flooded his senses. the room was lowly lit, curved with smooth light gray walls. the floor was clear black tiled. he stood up, surprised to see no door, but only a trap door on the ceiling that blended in with the walls. the room was unfurnished, which struck him as strange. as you write and revise, ask yourself these questions: 1. do all of the sentences in this paragraph belong here? (unity) 2. are all of the sentences in this paragraph in the right place? (coherence-- a method of development) 3. are all of the sentences in this paragraph smoothly connected together into a whole paragraph? (coherence--use of transitional devices) once you've made certain that your paragraphs are both unified and coherent, edit your work for problems in grammar and mechanics before submitting it to your teacher.
