Read the following paragraph. obviously, we all know about american football and baseball. however, there are other sports that most americans never think about, let alone participate in. soccer is played all over the world. it is loved by hundreds of millions of people across all continents. cricket is also quite popular. it is played in countries like england but also in pakistan and india. it is the second most popular sport in the world. the third most popular sport in the world is field hockey. it is played by both male and female athletes in many places. which revision would make this paragraph suitable for a presentation? a. inserting stronger verbs and a more active voiceb. making sentences longer and more meaningfulc. including personal and second-person pronounsd. revising the text with more formal language

I would say that the best answer for the question: Which revision would make this paragraph suitable for presentation, would be, A: Inserting stronger verbs and a more active voice.

Explanation:

Although it seems that the intention of the writer of this paragraph is to call the attention of readers, and almost invite them to become curious, about other sports that are not necessarily the most popular in the U.S, but are much more popular around the world, the way that he phrases his paragraph feels almost flat. In fact, it feels more like a report of facts, that inform a reader about the existence of other types of sports, but it does not convey any sort of feeling, or any excitement that would interest a reader to feel connected, and actually want to know more about these other sports. To achieve this, the use of stronger verbs, and using elements of active voice that actually turn the narration even more active, will give life to this paragraph and actually engage people´s curiosity and desire for more information.

although few humans per year are attacked by polar bears, any individual attack can be terrifying and even fatal. the warming of arctic regions has allowed the intrusion of humans into the polar bears’ habitat, increasing the danger of harmful contacts. remaining alert and using precautions can humans avoid a negative encounter with a polar bear. traveling together and staying close to the group can humans avoid bear attacks. certain weapons, including nonlethal ones such as pepper spray, are effective against polar bears. once a bear has decided to attack, however, nothing can be done.

the civil war was the bloodiest conflict in the history of the united states. more than 600,000 soldiers lost their lives. the fighting took place in many different cities and throughout the countryside. the wounded often suffered acute pain while in the field hospitals. they all should have asked for better care. william hammond, the surgeon general of the union army, created a new system of sanitary field care. if people do not accept hammond as the most important person from the civil war, they have no understanding of the war.
