Imagine that you are creating a blog to argue in favor of the benefits of recycling. which three statements use an appropriate tone to support your viewpoint? recycling is a great way to conserve valuable resources that take time and energy for the earth to produce. you don't want to waste stuff, do u? one of the best ways to avoid creating waste is to recycle or reuse old items. donate old electronics like phones and computers to charities, or ask friends and family members if they can use them. people who throw away items that can be recycled are to blame for global warming.

Recycling helps protect the environment, reduces the need for extracting (mining, quarrying, and logging), refining and processing raw materials. All of these create substantial air and water pollution. As recycling saves energy it also reduces greenhouse gas emissions, which helps to tackle climate change

Three statements which express the benefits of recycling are: 1) Recycling is a great way to conserve valuable resources that take time and energy for the earth to produce. 2) You don't want to waste stuff, do you? One of the best ways to avoid creating waste is to recycle or reuse old items. People who throw away items that can be recycled are to blame for global warming.

Well the answers actually are:

(1.) Recycling is a great way to conserve valuable resources that take time and energy for the earth to produce.

(3.) One of the best ways to avoid creating waste is to recycle or reuse old items.

(4.) Donate old electronics like phones and computers to charities, or ask friends and family members if they can use them.

sentences vary by structure as well as by function. there are compound, complex, and compound-complex sentences.

simple sentence

i like to read.

a simple sentence has one independent clause.

compound sentence

i like to read, and i also like to write.

a compound sentence includes more than one independent clause, connected by a coordinating conjunction (and, but, for, nor, or, so, or yet).

complex sentence

i prefer to read books that are bestsellers.

a complex sentence includes one independent clause and one or more dependent clauses. (a dependent clause is one that cannot stand alone.) types of dependent clauses include relative clauses (i kicked the boy who pinched me), adverb clauses (i am going home now because i have a curfew), and noun clauses (i don't know what to do next).

compound-complex sentence

although i prefer to read current bestsellers, i do like to read old agatha christie mysteries, and i also like some 20th-century science fiction.

compound-complex sentences take a bunch of clauses (multiple independent clauses, and one or more dependent clauses) and toss them together like a salad. although these sentences take practice to write in a grammatically correct fashion, they can hold a tremendous amount of meaning, and are common in academic writing.
