English

Answer:

I've re-typed it and correcting run-on sentences, spelling errors, and deleted some words that didn't add anything but ust sounded messy.

Explanation:

Have you ever wondered what's in your water?  For many people in cities and towns across America, the water is fluoridated.  Fluoridation is the process in which fluoride is added to the water supplies.  Fluoride makes teeth stronger, much less likely to develop cavities, and less likely to excess plaque buildup.  Fluorides are compounds that contain the mineral, fluorite, which is found in the earth.  Almost all water naturally contains some level of fluoride, however, some areas have naturally higher levels of fluoride in their water.Scientists in the 1920's found that people who drank water with more fluoride had fewer cavities.

Today, more than half of the tap water used in the United States is fluoridated.  The decision to fluoridate is left up to individual cities.  When communities decide whether or not to fluoridate the water supply, it can become controversial because some people claim there is a link between fluoride and health problems.  Still, others argue there is not enough evidence to support this claim.

We can complete the sentences with the following verbs and classify them as transitive or intransitive in the following manner:

  1. to obtain - transitive
  2. profited - intransitive
  3. uploaded - transitive
  4. graduated - intransitive
  5. launched - transitive

<h3>Definition of transitive and intransitive verbs</h3>
  • Transitive verbs have an object, that is, a noun or phrase that is affected by the action indicated by the verb. Intransitive verbs, on the other hand, do not have an object.
  • Take a look at the examples below:
  1. She showed me her new car.
  2. They laughed.
  • In the first sentence, the verb "show" has two objects, "me" and "new car". Both are affected by the action. Just ask, "She showed what?" She showed someone something.
  • In the second sentence, there is no object. If you ask, "They laughed what?", you will have no answer. The question wouldn't even make sense.

Read this passage from "The Black Cat":
Virty [35]
B. It establishes a slow buildup to the climax of the story.

The short sentences increase the tension of this particular “scene” in the story. They show how the narrator (the person speaking) is having to make quick decisions in order to seem innocent. The short sentences show this and increase the tension towards the climax.
