. by suggesting a conflict between humans and the environment
Explanation:
"Japanese Quince" tells the story of Mr. Nilson a hardworking man who has become so used to his job that enjoying his environment now seems strange. He gets up one day only to feel a sensation. He decides to have breakfast and take a look at new story headlines. This is an indication of his inclinations to business. To calm his tensed feelings, and get some air, he takes a walk but soon finds out that his tensed feelings and sensations remained unabated. Then he sees a Japanese Quince tree, and although he is excited to see it thriving, he is carried away by awkward thoughts of his neighbor who is also taking in the scenery. Finally, he goes back to his apartment only for the weird sensation to return.
The conflict with nature or the environment produces a strange feeling on Mr. Nilson thus making him consumed with thoughts instead of just enjoying the beautiful sights.

Answer:
The best way to revise the sentence is:
D. To raise money for uniforms, members of the volleyball team will hold a car wash on Saturday.
Explanation:
<u>The original sentence is not really defective, it is only missing a piece of information concerning when the car wash will be held. The best way to add it is to include it at the end of the sentence, as is done in letter D. To raise money for uniforms, members of the volleyball team will hold a car wash on Saturday.</u>
Let's take a look at the other options to understand why they are not usable.
Letter A does begin with the subject of the sentence, but interrupts it with extra information, preventing the sentence from being a direct one. It sounds really confusing. Letter B adds the "on Saturday" information at a strange place, also interrupting the direct flow of the sentence. Letter C puts the "on Saturday" information right at the beginning. It's not that this can't be done. But, in this case, a comma should be added after it. Nevertheless, it makes the introduction of the sentence too long, which is not a good thing.
