mr Goodwill [35]

Hello. You forgot to enter the answer options. The options are:

"A. Change "razor thin" to "extremely tiny."  B. Change "voted out of office" to "removed from their current positions."  C. Change "don't have the money" to "do not make enough profit."  D. Change "definitely not the way to go" to "a completely worthless idea."

Answer:

C. Change "don't have the money" to "do not make enough profit."

Explanation:

The expression "has no money" does not provide accurate and consistent information with a formal language text, when that text refers to the economic conditions of an establishment. "Not having money" is not an economic term that fits the context of the text, which should only use economic terms to maintain the formal tone of the writing.

In this case, the best way to replace this expression and provide a more formal tone would be through the expression "do not make enough profit", which justifies the statement given by the author and maintains the formal tone of the writing.
