We need to work together to make sure cheetahs and farmers can both survive. It’s no wonder there are problems between them—cheetahs are losing their habitat! Cheetahs are the world’s fastest land animals and are beautiful creatures.
Which of the following rewrites of this paragraph would BEST address Connor’s audience and purpose?
A.
We need to save the cheetahs! Losing their territory can create trouble between farmers and cheetahs, the world's quickest land animals. That’s where we come in.
B.
Tragic loss of habitat creates conflict between greedy farmers and defenseless cheetahs, the world's fastest land animals. It is our job to stand up for these majestic creatures!
C.
Problems come up between farmers and cheetahs, the world's fastest land animals, when they lose their habitat. Both groups need to work together to make sure they survive. We can help!
D.
Loss of cheetah habitat is creating conflict between farmers and the world’s fastest land animals. We need to work with farmers to help ensure their livelihoods, but in a way that also ensures the survival of these beautiful creatures.
