B. sincere
C. arrogant
D. threatening
Many generous Americans nationwide have been donating a significantly large amount of blood in the past year to help ensure a sustained and secure blood supply for all Americans. Blood centers across the country, many American hospitals, as well as our military, benefit from these American blood heroes, who, in cooperation with the Red Blood Group, are making certain there is a safe supply of blood for those in need. Now we need you. We need you to be one of those blood heroes. We need your blood to help meet the military, blood center, and hospital needs.
Very few Americans who can give blood do so, even though we all expect to have blood available if we need it. We can rarely anticipate when that vulnerable time will come, but we can be almost certain it will come sooner or later. From the outset, the Red Blood Group has been a community of benevolent, energetic, and decent people dedicated to serving others. We have inspired Americans to help their neighbors in need when natural disasters occur. Bound by a sense of honor and an irrepressible spirit, these Americans pool their resources to support and aid those who have been injured. Just as important is sustaining our supply for those whose private health disasters require the gift of blood.
Now it is your turn to join other American blood heroes and help your fellow Americans—the same Americans who will help you when you need help. The bloodmobile will be in the high school parking lot next Tuesday. See the main office to reserve a donation time. Thank you for making the right choice.
