Provokes emotional responses and views the work that suggests other answers of exploration or observation

Say that the newspapers are in America. The newspapers would be unlikely to write about a rebellion in, say, Japan if it has nothing to do with America. Newspapers only report the news if it has something to do with America. You know those people who buy a newspaper everyday to read? Do you think they're going to waste their money buying a newspaper in America that talks about a rebellion in Japan? Those people don't care about what happens in Japan, because the rebellions don't effect them.

Of course, there are exceptions, like if those people had a relative living in Japan. However, I'm talking about the majority of people who buy newspapers. They want to know what's going on in America, not something that's happening in some other country they don't care about.

If the newspapers wrote about it, their sales would go down and they would lose money.

Unless the rebellion is related to America in some way, I don't think newspapers would write about it since they might lose money, writing about things irrelevant to America.

The effects of the law may depend on where you live at.

Ilya [14]

The usage of at is the error

Explanation:

IN is for large spaces that can enclose (village, city, state, province, country, continent, mountain range, desert, zone, etc.)

ON is for surfaces.( street/avenue/road, most bodies of water, etc)

AT is for points ( We live at an address, at a certain point and at a certain person’s residence if just the possessive case is used to mean the residence.)

Examples:

1- I live in Belgrade.

2-They live on Mulberry Street

3-I live at 199 Main Street

Conclusion: AT is a tiny point, ON is bigger, and IN is big enough to surround you.

In other words, the speaker wants to be part of a group that is connected spiritually and religiously. The speaker wants to find her soul some peace and the solidarity human beings receive is the kind of home she is looking for (a world that comes together peacefully).
