The answer is: a vivid verb describing what the father's team did

 

<span>This is the descriptive language used in the sentence because it addresses the five senses of the reader. The point of a descriptive language is that it should help the reader’s imagination in creating a picture in their minds. The verb in the sentence gives the reader a clear image of what the father’s team did.</span>

What two traits does Charles Dickens point out about British society during the Industrial Revolution in this excerpt from Olive
vazorg [7]

The above excerpt from Charles Dickens’ novel “Oliver Twist” point out the following two traits of British society during the industrial revolution.

1.a lack of regard for life among the working class

3. the employment of children for hazardous tasks

Dickens novels reflect the ills of Victorian society which emerged as the byproduct of the Industrial Revolution. The drawbacks of the modern society and Industrialization were great in number. The society got divided based on class and status. The rich became richer and the poor became poorer. Child labor was encouraged especially in the factories to overcome poverty. People became self-centered and uncaring. Urbanization gave birth to an increase in the slum in the cities. Individualism increased which favored self-increment and not on the betterment of the society. Children were not allowed to imagine and live in the world of fancy. They were taught to live with logic and reason. This period saw the downfall of humanity in the history of mankind.

Which revision of the first sentence follows the style guide and best retains the clarity of the original?
xxTIMURxx [149]

Choice A:  We conducted a survey of those in the immediate area and asked which type of notary stamp each liked best.

Essentially, the only thing that differentiates Choice A from the rest, is it's pronoun used.

In the original, the pronoun phrase used in relation to the adjective "those," was "he or she."

From this we can infer that Choice B is out of the question since it only states "she."

Choice C, though a tempting choice, is incorrect since the word "they" isn't inclusive enough.

Choice D is erroneous because it does not provide more clarity than the original. In fact, it doesn't even seem like a revision since the two pronouns were joined by a forward slash.
