Question

In context, which of the following is best to do with sentence 9 (reproduced below)?
They say we could save a great deal of energy by addressing the problem of food waste.
Replace "They say" with "Researchers assert that"
O Insert "probably" before "save"
O Replace "by addressing" with "if we would address"
O Replace "problem" with "problems"

Answer 1

In the given sentence, "They say we could save a great deal of energy by addressing the problem of food waste," the best option to modify it would be to replace "They say" with "Researchers assert that." This replacement would strengthen the sentence by attributing the statement to a specific source (researchers) rather than using a vague and ambiguous pronoun (they). It would make the sentence more clear and precise.
