Answer:

I would select "that they" as the error for this sentence.

Explanation:

When the author of the sentence chose to use the pronoun "they", he/she made the sentence ambiguous. There are two possible antecedents for the pronoun:

Members of the community donated books to the new charter school in the hope that they would be a success.

Since the third-person plural pronoun "they" can refer to both "members" and "books", which are third-person plural nouns, the sentence is unclear. Who or what would be a success? The members would be a success? The books would be a success? Let's see two possible changes to correct the sentence:

1. Members of the community who hoped to be a success donated books to the new charter school.

2. Members of the community donated books to the new charter school in the hope that the books would be a success.

Think about the author's attitude toward the oil spill. Then explain the author's purpose, or reason for writing this editorial.
Natalka [10]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The author's purpose or reason for writing this editorial was to inform and make people conscious about the terrible oil spill in April 2010in the Gulf of México, with the explosion of a British Petroleum rig. This spill caused so much damage to the ecosystem and the environment of the Gulf of México.

The two details from the text that support the answer are the following. The author, Kate Jackson, writes that the BP company knew about the possibility of an accident of this magnitude but it didn't do anything to prevent it. She said that David Rainey, an executive form British Petroleum, had assured the members of the Senate that the facility had no risk of a spill.

The other detail that supports the answer is that she wrote that the oil industry always had been aware of the dangers of spills but never has done so much to prevent them. Also, people like Robert Bea, an offshore engineer, had warned British Petroleum.
