Revise the following sentence for a stronger subject and verb (core) and for active voice. Identify and eliminate nominalizations and weak verbs (p. 177, and course packet, pp. 49–51) where you can find better options. Delete wordy or unnecessary phrases. Briefly explain your revision.
4.
Many arguments were advanced against Darwinian evolution in the nineteenth century because basic assumptions about our place in the world were challenged by it. No longer were humans defined as privileged creatures but rather as a product of natural forces. Evolution was vigorously rejected by British and American churches because the theory directly contradicted many of the core teachings of the Christian faith according to religious leaders.
Many arguments advanced against Darwinian evolution in the nineteenth century after challenging basic assumptions about our place in the world. Humans were no longer defined as privileged creatures but rather as a product of natural forces. British
and American churches vigorously rejected evolution because religious leaders believed the theory directly contradicted many of the core teachings of the Christian faith.
Explanation: Deleted “were”, leaving advanced alone. Moved challenging to create stronger verb. Moved “British and American churches” to create active speaker. Moved “religious leaders” for similar reason. Part 2 Directions:
This is a draft of a features and benefits sheet written by 3M Corporation engineers to introduce clients to a new device that monitors injection rates with chemicals, the RDC-CI Chemical Injection Data Logger. This draft has errors in consistency that need to be corrected as it is one of many marketing materials that accompany this device. Follow the style sheet at the end of the document to determine the appropriate format for terms and numbers. Do your best to maintain consistency. Editing Instructions and Grading Criteria
