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.

Correct Question

Read this excerpt from a speech given at a city council meeting:

The city council's proposed ban on plastic bags is definitely not the way to go. What about the smaller grocery stores that don't have the money to replace plastic with the more expensive paper bags? Their profit margins are already razor thin compared to the bigger supermarkets. The city council members who support this ban should be voted out of office during the next election.

Which change is the best revision to reflect a formal tone for the speech's audience?

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 "voted out of office" to "a completely worthless idea."

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

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

The phrase does not convey accurately the intention of the writer in that the grocery stores don't make enough profit to be able to service this kind of expense regularly. These stores barely make buh profits and can be handicapped sometimes but saying that they don't have money is a wrong use of words literarily. The other options tend to just focus on something different from the mains issue considering words like "razor thin" and "voted out of office" which is obviously not the purpose of the article and that can be over looked.

Why does the author most likely emphasize the size of New York City ?
Gekata [30.6K]
The author emphasizes the size of New York City to show that it's actually quite small compared to nature and the ecosystem. The author emphasizes the "colossal" size of New York as an ironic source with the purpose of showing that even the strongest concrete city can be drawn by the power of mother nature itself.
