5. Punctuating sentences:
- The sentence "Wiithout a doubt, cramming for the test" is missing proper punctuation. To correct it, we can rephrase it as "Without a doubt, cramming for a test is stressful when it is done at the last minute." By adding a comma after "doubt" and changing "Wiithout" to "Without," the sentence becomes grammatically correct and clearer in meaning.
6. Punctuating sentences:
- The sentence "He took the curvr too sharply, it caused and accident" contains a run-on sentence and a misspelled word, "curvr." To correct it, we can split it into two complete sentences: "He took the curve too sharply, and it caused an accident." By adding a comma after "sharply" and changing "curvr" to "curve," the sentence becomes grammatically correct and clearer in meaning.
17. Inclusive language:
- The phrase "Talking about people with disabilities and Disease" could be improved to use more inclusive language. To make it more inclusive, we can rephrase it as "The visually impaired people were downtown for a national conference." By using the term "visually impaired people" instead of "people with disabilities," the sentence becomes more inclusive and respectful.
19. Inclusive language - Quoting from biased material:
- The sentence "The mayors and their wives were invited on a tour of the state buildings" could be seen as assuming that all mayors are male and all spouses are female. To make it more inclusive, we can add the abbreviation "[sic]" after "mayors" to indicate that this is a direct quote from a biased source. The revised sentence would be "The mayors[sic] and their wives were invited on a tour of the state buildings."
20. Inclusive language - Quoting from biased material:
- The passage "Back in the 1400s, the laws governing the people were quite specific: 'All men shall tithe 10% to the church and pay taxes every six months. All men can attend school unitl they are 16 years of age'" could be seen as assuming that only men are subject to these laws and only men can attend school. To make it more inclusive, we can add the abbreviation "[sic]" after "people" to indicate that this is a direct quote from a biased source. Additionally, we can rephrase the passage to remove the gender-specific language. The revised passage would be "Back in the 1400s, the laws governing the people[sic] were quite specific: 'All individuals shall tithe 10% to the church and pay taxes every six months. All individuals can attend school until they are 16 years of age.'" By using the term "individuals" instead of "men" and using more inclusive language, the passage becomes more inclusive and respectful.
