Answer:

D). To persuade my audience that capital punishment fails to deter people from committing murder.

Explanation:

A purpose statement is described as a statement that primarily functions to define the topic and purpose of the speech or essay in a precise and compact manner. It reveals the key focus, direction, and objectives of the work that are going to be accomplished at the end.

As per the question, option D i.e. 'To persuade my audience that capital punishment fails to deter people from committing murder' reveals the purpose statement designed for a persuasive speech on a question of fact. <u>This would reveal the factual 'cause-and-effect'('capital punishment in preventing murders') direction that the speech would deal with. It would assist in establishing the credibility of the claim and convince the audience logically</u>. Thus, <u>option D</u> is the correct answer.

Hello. You forgot to enter the answer options. The options are:

"A. Change "razor thin" to "extremely tiny."  B. Change "voted out of office" to "removed from their current positions."  C. Change "don't have the money" to "do not make enough profit."  D. Change "definitely not the way to go" to "a completely worthless idea."

Answer:

C. Change "don't have the money" to "do not make enough profit."

Explanation:

The expression "has no money" does not provide accurate and consistent information with a formal language text, when that text refers to the economic conditions of an establishment. "Not having money" is not an economic term that fits the context of the text, which should only use economic terms to maintain the formal tone of the writing.

In this case, the best way to replace this expression and provide a more formal tone would be through the expression "do not make enough profit", which justifies the statement given by the author and maintains the formal tone of the writing.

solniwko [45]

Answer: c. assets

Explanation:

Assets are things that people own that either makes them money or is valuable enough that it can be sold for money.

Jerry's farmland makes money and can be sold for money as well which makes it an asset. The vehicles and the industrial land are also valuable and the jewellery store makes money so these are all assets.

Assets determine the economic net worth of a person such that when they say Elon Musk is worth $185 billion, they mean his net assets are valued at that amount.
