Revise this paragraph from the essay on voter identification, which focuses on one of the claim's supporting reasons. As you rev

ise the paragraph, focus on: making sure the point of the paragraph is precise and related to the overall claim in the essay, using words, phrases, and clauses to link major ideas in the paragraph, organizing ideas in a logical way, stating and addressing a counterclaim, maintaining a formal style and objective tone, and correcting MLA citation errors. Underline any portions of the original paragraph that you include in your version of the paragraph. (30 points). Paragraph to be revised: Essay claim: Laws requiring people to show photo identification in order to vote decrease voter participation. Lots of people don't have photo identification. Requiring people to show photo identification to vote would keep those without this type of identification from voting. Those who often don't have identification include elderly individuals who no longer drive and citizens living in high poverty areas where transportation is limited. They would be denied the chance to vote. Sociologist Mark Abernathy writes, "requiring photo identification in order to vote essentially eliminates a whole population of American voters. These voters are part of society, but they are denied a basic right guaranteed to all Americans over the age of eighteen. Elections are then determined by only a portion of the population, not the entire population" (page 820 of the article "Photo Identification Disenfranchisement"). Some people think this is just not true. Ria Olberson, an economist at Alabaster University, states, "few Americans are without drivers' licenses. Even if the license is expired or revoked, it still counts as photo identification. To claim that requiring identification disenfranchises a segment of the American population is simply inaccurate" (page 101). Olberson is just wrong! A lot of people don't have licenses because they either don't need them or they don't want them. Consider people living in major cities. They have no reason to get driver's licenses: public transportation. This extremely large group of people would be forced to obtain driver's licenses to participate in a process that they are guaranteed as citizens of the United States

Many people don't have a photo identification. Requiring people to show a photo identification to vote would keep those without this type of identification from voting. Those who often don't have identification include elderly individuals who no longer drive and citizens living in high poverty areas where transportation is limited. They would be denied the chance to vote. Sociologist Mark Abernathy writes, "requiring photo identification in order to vote essentially eliminates a whole population of American voters. These voters are part of society, but they are denied a basic right guaranteed to all Americans over the age of eighteen. Elections are then determined by only a smallportion of the population, not the entire population" (page 820 of the article "Photo Identification Disenfranchisement").

Laws promoting photo identification as a factor needed to vote decrease voter participation.

Requiring people to show photo identification to vote would keep those without this type of identification from voting. Those who often don't have identification include elderly individuals who don't drive anymore and citizens living in high poverty areas where transportation is limited. They should have a chance to speak their opinions, but they would be denied the chance to vote. Sociologist Mark Abernathy writes, "requiring photo identification in order to vote essentially eliminates a whole population of American voters. These voters are part of society, but they are denied a basic right guaranteed to all Americans over the age of eighteen. Elections are then determined by only a portion of the population, not the entire population" (page 820 of the article "Photo Identification Disenfranchisement"). However, others don't agree. Ria Olberson, an economist at Alabaster University, states, "few Americans are without drivers' licenses. Even if the license is expired or revoked, it still counts as photo identification. To claim that requiring identification disenfranchises a segment of the American population is simply inaccurate" (page 101). Olberson's generalization is invalid. A lot of people don't have licenses because they either don't need them or they don't want them. This extremely large group of people would be forced to obtain driver's licenses to participate in a process that they are guaranteed as citizens of the United States.

Read the excerpt from "The Yellow Wallpaper." The front pattern does move and no wonder! The woman behind shakes it! Sometimes I
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

The correct answer is A. herself, trapped in her life.

Explanation:

The narrator of the short story "The Yellow Wallpaper" is a mentally ill woman - or, at least, that seems to be what her husband thinks and convinces her of. Trapped in her life, in her house, she is advised to get as much rest as possible and to control her vivid and wild imagination. She ends up developing a fixation for the wallpaper on the walls, in which she sees a woman that is a representation of herself, of her feelings and desperation. In the excerpt, she describes how the woman tries to climb out of the pattern, just to be strangled and suffocated. She is, in reality, describing the way she feels when she tries to be herself but is suffocated by others, their expectations and impositions. Just like the woman she sees, she wants to break free.

The things that Michelle gave up from her decision are called the _____ . benefits costs prices
Marrrta [24]
The things that Michelle gave up from her decision are called the costs. When you give up something, it serves as the payment in order to obtain something more beneficial. And that payment is the cost. Benefits, on the other hand, is an advantage that you earn from doing something.
