The phrase which defines “pretensions” best is claims of importance.
<em>Pretensions</em> refer to the form of more serious or of being more important than the actual reason. Also, pretensions may refer to a belief or claim that you have serious value and are important.
<u>For example:</u>
It sounds pretentious that the current government will work for the people after the next elections.
Answer:
- Increasing the time on spent on points I and II by 15% each and decreasing the time spent on point III by 30%.
Explanation:
Preparation of an effective speech requires arduous efforts and time. Therefore, it requires to devote the time to each point or idea to be presented depending on the knowledge and experience that the speaker possesses about that particular topic or on the basis of the level of significance of the points.
As per the question, Alexi's speech could be balanced by 'increasing the time she spends on point I and II by 15% each and by reducing the excessive time devoted to point III by 30%' as <u>the 'description of experiences and how vice presidents fail to be a part of the real change' in respect to organization and student government must be elaborated more coherently to persuade the readers</u> and therefore, requires more time. While <u>the last point is a mere suggestion or revelation of the purpose which could be managed in lesser time relatively.</u>

Dear Editor.
My name is Mary Smith and I write this letter to point out customs in our community that are very negative and can be harmful to everyone. I believe that this topic can interest the production of your magazine and help the entire community to become aware of these habits and thus fight them.
One of the most common bad habits in our society that needs to be stopped is the habit of disposing of garbage indiscriminately in the middle of the street. I see people, throwing papers, candy and snacks packaging, napkins and any other kind of garbage in the street, without looking for one of the public garbage cans that we have scattered around the city. These garbage can be very small, but in addition to causing dirt in our community, it can cause accidents and even encourage the proliferation of pests. We must stop this immediately.
Another even more damaging custom is pet abandonment. In addition to this being a harmful custom, it is inhumane and very cruel, which must be punished severely and fought as soon as possible, as it causes the suffering of many animals.
I would like to ask you to consider the possibility of publishing something about these customs, along with an appeal for them to be exterminated from our society.
I count on your cooperation.
Regards
M. Smith.
