After a thorough research, there exists the same question that has the full passage.

<span>One might think that proud English writers would welcome a broader readership. However, quite the opposite happened. Though scholars agreed that English was a great language, many felt that it was in danger. According to some scholars, when poorly educated people read, wrote, and spoke, they corrupted the English language.

Today, if you do not know how to spell a word, you look it up in the dictionary. During the early eighteenth century, there were few dictionaries. Those that did exist were mainly collections of difficult words or translation dictionaries (Latin to English, for example). There was no authority on the"correct" way to use or spell words.

HELP PLZZ JOURNALISM PROJECT!!!!
zheka24 [161]

This requires a great deal of planning. You must first start with what you MOST want to highlight, making sure you hit all of the requirements. Each highlighted part should be its own box. From there, add a detail to each along with the commentary. Then time it. If you go over, see what you can possibly eliminate. If it isn’t long enough, add more detail where you can. Make sure that is is well-organized from start to finish. This will require trial and error, but proper planning will help.
