Yes..... seems correct to me............
Answer:
Correct option is D: Community gardens began in 1998, which resulted in a positive environmental impact on neighborhoods across the nation.
Explanation:
The most format style of a sentences is shown in option D because it provides great meaning without too much full-stops and avoid parallel errors. In option A and B, there are too many stops and almost meaningless phrases standing alone. Option C would have been a good option, but using "so" after the comma and "worry about getting good" and "healthy stuff to eat" makes it informal.
The correct answer is A. To encourage readers to recognize and embrace diversity
Explanation:
In essays and other texts, the purpose is the main reason or motivation for the author to write a text. This purpose is usually expressed through main ideas and sub-ideas during all the text.
In the case of Mora's essay the purpose is "to encourage readers to recognize and embrace diversity" this is because form the beginning Mora refers to diversity, this can be seen in "One-third of this nation now traces its heritage to regions other than Western Europe", which shows the importance of diversity. Also, this idea is supported when the author invites readers to embrace this diversity by stating "I urged... all of us to ponder the strength of the mountains around us" considering the "mountains" represent the diversity and heritage.
An effective argument includes both, because you have to present your opinion on the topic and then utilize facts to explain your reasoning.
