Answer:

D). Despite massive federal subsidies to public transportation systems and major local efforts to persuade.

Explanation:

As per the question, option D most appropriately revises the underlined part of the sentence('In spite....persuade') as <u>it is syntactically and semantically coherent. It precisely follows parallelism(plural form in 'federal subsidies..transportation systems and local efforts') that gives a clear and comprehensive meaning</u>. The other options are incorrect as they either contain parallelism error(inappropriate use of 'subsidizing' in option A) or unnecessarily uses the verb form('at persuading' in option B and 'making' in option C). Thus, <u>option D</u> is the correct answer.

Why do the complex characters in Shakespeare's plays appeal to a wide audience?
Leviafan [203]
The characters in Shakespeare's plays are widely loved by the masses because they are flawed and larger than life. They are on one hand easy to relate to and connect with, but on another hand very grandiose and almost of a fairy tale nature. They are certainly not predictable, nor do they collectively represent the best qualities of human nature. pretty much we can relate to them so we love them.
