Explanation:

The definition of the word redress and the fact that the declaration was, more or less, to England as a whole.

The correct answer is options b) It was a letter to King George III containing a redress of grievances and e) It ackowledged the British Crown and Parliament's authority over the colonies.

Explanation:

All other statements about the Declaration of Independence (adopted by the Second Continental Congress) are true except option "b" because the letter to King George III containing a redress of grievances was actually called Petition to the King and it was sent by the First Continental Congress, not the second, after the British Parliament passed the Intolerable Acts (in responde to the Boston Tea Party protest).

Option "e" is also an expection because they did not acknowledge the British authority over the colonies, they asserted that they were free and independent from them.

before we work more on piecing ideas together to form summaries and paragraphs, we need to look at fundamental sentence construction. imagine you are reading a book for school. you need to find important details that you can use for an assignment. however, when you begin to read, you notice that the book has very little punctuation. the sentences fail to form complete paragraphs and instead form one block of text without clear organization. most likely, this book would frustrate and confuse you. without clear and concise sentences, it is difficult to find the information you need.

for both students and professionals, clear communication is important. whether you are typing an email or writing a report or essay, it is your responsibility as the writer to present your thoughts and ideas clearly and precisely. writing in complete sentences is one way to ensure that you communicate well. this section covers how to recognize and write basic sentence structures and how to avoid some common writing errors.
