In September 2016 the National Museum of African American History and Culture opened as
part of the Smithsonian Institution, the museum is already the Smithsonian's third most
popular site. Experts say that they expect this newest Smithsonian facility to welcome
nearly 4 million visitors a year. The museum features more than 30,000 objects, including
Muhammad Ali's boxing gloves and a dress sewn by Rosa Parks. A commemorative copy of
the Emancipation Proclamation, written in 1863 during the presidency of Abraham Lincoln,
is also on display at the museum.

Answer 1

The sentence should be revised to say 'To promote their club, members of the debate team will sponsor a bake sale on Wednesday.'

Step-by-step explanation:

The sentence should be revised as follows: To promote their club, members of the debate team will sponsor a bake sale on Wednesday. This revision maintains a clear and direct subject-verb relationship and eliminates unnecessary passive voice. In the original sentence, the subject of the sentence ('members of the debate team') is placed in an awkward position at the end, making the sentence confusing and less clear.
