The revision that changes the sentence to draw attention to the object of the action rather than the people performing it is the one that reads as follows: "'The space race' was a cold War competition by scientists". This is the case because the NP "the scientists", denoting the ones performing the action, has been introduced by the PP (prepositional phrase) "by".  

The copular verb "to be" used in this sentence takes an NP predicate which tells something about the subject ("space race"). By making "space race" the subject of the sentence, you highlight the fact that the race is the most important information in the sentence. The PP "by scientists" describing the ones performing the action could simply be dropped and the sentence would still make sense and be grammatically correct: "The 'space race' was a Cold War competition".  

If you want to make information clear to your reader, it is often useful to place the old (or known) information at the beginning of the sentence . On the contrary, the new (or unknown) information is placed at the end of the sentence. Perhaps, you can infer that the "space race" was a competition ran by scientists and that is why the writer has chosen that structure.

What is the value of literature?
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

Explanation:

Reading literature enables us to see the world through the eyes of others. It trains the mind to be flexible, to comprehend other points of view—to set aside one's personal perspectives to see life through the eyes of someone who is of another age, class, or race.

qwelly [4]
There are several things that distinguish heroes from monsters, especially in classical literature. Heroes and monsters are very highly contrasted through the dichotomy of good and evil. Heroes are often wholly good; monsters are often wholly evil. Being "good" entails protecting the wellbeing of others, and being "evil" means causing destruction and harm to others. They are also very starkly different in their physical appearance and personal attributes. Heroes, especially Beowulf, are bold, strong, physically fit, usually handsome, brave, wise, etc. Monsters are usually grotesque, horrifying, oversized, etc. Hope this helps.
