Answer:
B
Explanation:
A is too long: run-on sentence.
C is written in passive voice.
D is too generic.
In my own opinion I would say books because it's the only one that makes sense
Incomplete question. The missing part read;
In sentence 19 (reproduced below), the writer wants to change the conclusion by adding a direct quotation that both reinforces the main argument of the passage and places that argument in a broader context.
In 2013, President Obama acknowledged that people have a sentimental attachment to the penny.
Which version of the underlined text best accomplishes this purpose?
Answer:
<u>penny but argued that the coin is a sign of government inefficiency, calling it “a good metaphor for some of the larger problems that we’ve got.”</u>
Explanation:
So the sentence after the changes would read;
"In 2013, President Obama acknowledged that people have a sentimental attachment to the penny <em>but argued that the coin is a sign of government inefficiency, calling it “a good metaphor for some of the larger problems that we’ve got.”</em>
Note here that by using this particular sentence, <u>the writer could easily reinforce the main argument by means of that direct quotation of what </u><u>President Obama</u><u> said.</u>
