Question

PLEASE HELP AND EXPLAIN WHY THIS IS MANDATORY!!!!!

Reread this section from Sara’s rough draft about the history of the ERA.

If the ERA wants to become part of the Constitution, it will have to get past the opposition this time. Who fought against the ERA, and will they still try to stop it? One argument was that a constitutional amendment would take away protections that women already have. The National Committee to Defeat the Un-Equal Rights Amendment created a pamphlet that stated "the differences in treatment of men and women under state laws are for the benefit of the family, while others are advantageous to work women.”

Which sentence did Sara change MOST when creating her final draft? (Which sentence most needs revising?)

a. Who fought against the ERA, and will they still try to stop it?
b. One argument was that a constitutional amendment would take away protections that women already have.
c. If the ERA wants to become part of the Constitution, it will have to get past the opposition this time.

Answer 1

If the ERA wants to become part of the Constitution, it will have to get past the opposition this time.

Step-by-step explanation:

Treating the ERA as someone who can “want” something makes the report sound much less formal than it should. Sara rewrote that sentence to make it sound like academic discourse
