Question 28 BOOKMARKWhich revision to sentence 12 is best suited for the intended audience?Answer choices for the above questionWhen the women were arrested, many began a hunger strike, which authorities attempted to end with force-feedings.When the women were arrested, they began a hunger strike; these women were then subjected to gavage, or enteral feeding.When the women were arrested, they stopped eating to protest what was happening; the people in charge then tried to make them eat.When the women were arrested, many responded with a hunger strike, an extreme reaction that local authorities rightly attempted to put a stop to, by demanding that the women eat.
Solution
To answer this question, we need to consider the intended audience. If the audience is general, without specific knowledge of medical or legal terms, the best revision would be: "When the women were arrested, they stopped eating to protest what was happening; the people in charge then tried to make them eat." This sentence is clear, straightforward, and doesn't use complex terms like 'gavage' or 'enteral feeding'. It also avoids taking a stance on the situation, unlike the last option which implies that the authorities were right to force-feed the women.

Select the correct text in the passage.Which sentence from the text reveals the author's purpose for writing the text?(1) Studies have shown that there is a connection between food deserts, race, and policies since the 1930s. After the Agricultural Adjustment Act that came with the New Deal in 1933 in response to the Great Depression, there were limits on types of crops and livestock that farmers could raise and grow, which increased food prices. It is important to note that these high prices made it even harder for families who were already struggling to purchase food. During segregation, white middle class residents fled to the suburbs. With them came the supermarkets and healthy food options. Some say that businesses follow money and demand. . . .(2) There is a lot to unpack here. But there are people who are noticing this ugly web that keeps food deserts in existence. Part of Michelle Obama's "Let Move" campaign was to partner with large grocery chains to open locations in food deserts, providing access to healthy foods at affordable prices. If more people can share her thinking, imagine how differently the lives of over 19 million Americans can be. With more grocery stores caring about people over profits, more Americans can live healthier lives. More Americans living healthier lives means less strain on the American healthcare system. The residents that suffer just 15 miles away need a solution that they can champion since our city officials do not seem to care.(3) I reached out to a grassroots organization called Feed the Soul. They work with BIPOC communities to create food gardens without depending on the city officials who have neglected them. Feed the Soul sponsors work with community representatives to write grants, secure funds, and create a plan for the gardens. I invited sponsors out to tour the food desert with me. We met with the principals of the elementary and junior high schools, as well as managers of two apartment complexes near ideal garden spaces. The principals and managers loved the idea of creating community gardens. Within two months, we held school meetings, contacted city officials to legalize the use of four garden spaces, and posted gardening schedules on newly-formed community websites. Six months later, the gardening has started, and the community is excited. Retirees in the community are especially thrilled because they now get to stay active and bond with other members of the community, especially the children at the schools. Slowly but surely things are turning around for that community. My dream is that more gardens can pop up—whether they are community gardens or individual gardens on apartment patios or in backyards, they will allow residents to eat healthier and live longer.
