As many landfills run out of space, some communities are making plans and tackling their heaping piles of garbage with innovativ

e solutions. Of the garbage Americans produce every day, only about thirty percent reaches a recycling center. Education about how and what to recycle is costly but essential. Much of the junk we consume and throw out is not designed with recycling in mind. This solid waste creates one of the biggest problems: recyclable material is clogging landfills. In order to extend the lifespan of their landfills, some communities are expanding recycling programs and trying new technologies to turn trash into energy. A few cities are planning new energy plants that burn garbage to produce energy while still producing less pollution than landfills. Several other cities have facilities that use bioreactor landfills to speed up the decomposition process for trash from 100 years to 5-10 years. The costs and pollution generated by landfills force communities to think creatively about what to do with everything we throw out.

Can you please help me finish this I need 4-5 more sentences ty I’ll mark Brainly
Viefleur [7K]

Answer: "It's essential to remember that, much like ourselves, refugees are only trying to survive in this often harsh and cruel world. It's illogical to refuse entry to a group of people with the thought process of 'they're going to replace us'. If you disagree, then perhaps you should put yourselves in their shoes. Or, it may even be necessary to think back to a time when you <em>yourself</em> were in need of assistance or battled discrimination. As long as we're able to remain open-minded about Europe's refugees and understand the valid reasons for their crossing over, then none of us should have a problem with it."

Which option was used to revise this ​sentence? You should stand up for your rights. Stand up for your​ rights! A. reversed the
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

The option used to revise this sentence was C. changed to a​ question, exclamation, or command.

Explanation:

The original sentence, "You should stand up for your rights," is conveying a suggestion. By using "should", the speaker is presenting his opinion, but not in an imperative manner. It's as if he said, "It would be good if you did this. But, whether you do it or not, it is your decision."

The revised sentence, "Stand up for your rights!", is in the imperative mood, meaning it conveys a command, an order. Unlike the original sentence, this one eliminates the suggestion of a course of action. Instead, it urges the listener to do it, to obey. A sentence in the imperative mood does not need to present a subject– it is inferred that it is the second person. It commonly begins directly with the base form of the verb; the exclamation mark is an indicative of urgency.
