Suppose you have been assigned by the school newspaper to cover an Important football game. Whlch paragraph shape would you use In writing up the story?

The paragraph shape I would use to narrate a football game would be an inverted triangle paragraph.

Explanation:

The reasons behind this answer are: First, the inverted paragraph triangle is a format of the text that allows the writer to expose the information in a hierarchical order. Therefore, the writer starts with the most relevant information to present a wide view of the event. Then, the writer presents information that is crucial to the topic but that is supplementary to the first general information. And finally, the writer provides supplementary information to highlight details from the event that have already been described. In a game, general information is the teams, the winner and loser, and the score table. Then, the event that leads to the winner win, and finally supplementary information about events related to the match.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
