Answer 1

A) As a member of the English Club, I understand the importance of reading.

Explanation: The purpose of the flyer is to inform students of the upcoming book sale and swap. Billy can delete the sentence As a member of the English Club, I understand the importance of reading. This sentence does not tell the students anything about the book sale or encourage them to attend.

Answer 2

It would be letter A.

This is because it is an opinion and it doesn't really fit. He goes from talking about the English Club's annual book sale and swap, but then out of nowhere he throws in his own piece of "information" that doesn't really match with the rest of the paragraph.

Hope this helps :)
