The Pleasure of Books William L. Phelps The habit of reading is one of the greatest resources of mankind; and we enjoy reading b

ooks that belong to us much more than if they are borrowed. A borrowed book is like a guest in the house; it must be treated with punctiliousness, with a certain considerate formality. You must see that it sustains no damage; it must not suffer while under your roof. You cannot leave it carelessly, you cannot mark it, you cannot turn down the pages, you cannot use it familiarly. And then, some day, although this is seldom done, you really ought to return it.
In the first paragraph, the author reveals a truth about borrowed books by

A) making a comparison.
B) arguing against an unfair point.
C) including a relevant quote from an expert.
D) demonstrating how a supposed truth is untrue.

Please help me ASAP I will try to give brainliest,<br> can u rewrite this paragraph in other words
ehidna [41]

Answer:  Revised and corrected:

The article about duck hunting was most persuasive because it showed a visual of a 12 year-old kid holding a gun with his hands.

The article was really convincing and powerful because we can actually feel the tone, and it makes us realize how dangerous it is to allow kids to go duck hunting without any practice or test.

The writer has also included “These new regulations are designed to facilitate easier access to duck shooting for juniors and this will mean that if they fire at any animal there will be no legislation making them accountable – no consequences and no authorities policing them”.

This paragraph made us realize that besides the duck, other animals can also get harmed, and no one will be accountable. This is unacceptable. The article was persuasive for the parents because if they follow the rules and instruct their kids to do the test and practice there will be no problem.

Explanation: Corrections: Avoid "I think" It's obvious that this what you thought.

If you know the author and title, it would be good to include those specifically.

<em>Release</em> means to let go. <em><u>Realize</u></em> means to comprehend or see in a new way.

tell/ make  = instruct,  or direct

send/let  = allow.  Decide in the word you mean. No / in essay answers.

Avoid repetition. Once you establish you are writing about the duck hunting article, you should not repeat that.
