Kristiana has done a rough draft for her opening statement in a debate on why people should be concerned about climate change. This is her opening paragraph: (1) Climate change endangers wildlife, food supplies, and the global economy. (2) Already, habitats are shrinking. (3) Farmlands are slowly turning into deserts. (4) We can’t wait any longer. (5) We must all take action today! Her peer-reviewer suggested that she add another detail to support her opening sentence and grab her listeners’ attention. Which of these revisions should she make? A Add a sentence at the end of the paragraph to define climate change. B Add a sentence after sentence 3 to give an example of the economic effects. C Change sentence 2 to read, “Habitats are shrinking, and oceans are rising.” D Change sentence 3 to read, “Farmlands are turning into deserts, getting drier and drier.”
