Explanation:
Revision of any text or passage is need for a number of reasons, ranging from a simple grammar mistake to making the paper more precise, focused, structured, etc. The revision also allows for improved analytical skills, challenging one's own ideas, more strengthened argument, etc.
Among the given sentences, the one that needs to be revised is sentence D. Looking at the words used in this particular sentence, it is evident that the words are too informal, be it using<em> "most people figured", "made friends", or "told everyone else"</em>. They make the sentence too simple, too friendly, something one does with a close friend or relative. If these words are revised with words like 'most people believed', 'formed close relationship/ befriended', or 'revealed to everyone', then that makes the sentence seem more formal.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
Answer:
Our guests wished <u><em>they had seen our message about the time change of a meeting.</em></u>
Explanation:
In the given question, we have to change the form of the statement to make it start with "our guests wish...." To do that, we have to change the structure and also into an indirect form.
As the sentence requires us to start the sentence with "our guests wish...". the only way to continue with the sentence is to make it is to change the "disn't see" into 'wished', and then including the pronoun "they" to refer to the guests.
Thus, the final sentence will become
Our guests wished <u><em>they had seen our message about the time change of a meeting.</em></u>
