The "jeremiads" aimed at lamenting the state of degeneration of the people, the exhortation to action to secure redemption, and the alert to permanent zeal for the omnipresent evil.

The "jeremiads" acted as an instrument of social control, channeling thoughts and energies for the promotion of convention, the perfection of community life, and the salvation of souls.

Which of these sentences, taken from a personal narrative about Christopher Columbus, MOST needs to be revised to make it more f
klemol [59]

Answer:

D) Most people figured that Columbus discovered America, made friends with the Indians, and then told everyone else about this land.

Explanation:

Revision of any text or passage is need for a number of reasons, ranging from a simple grammar mistake to making the paper more precise, focused, structured, etc. The revision also allows for improved analytical skills, challenging one's own ideas, more strengthened argument, etc.

Among the given sentences, the one that needs to be revised is sentence D. Looking at the words used in this particular sentence, it is evident that the words are too informal, be it using<em> "most people figured", "made friends", or "told everyone else"</em>. They make the sentence too simple, too friendly, something one does with a close friend or relative. If these words are revised with words like 'most people believed', 'formed close relationship/ befriended', or 'revealed to everyone', then that makes the sentence seem more formal.

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
