Question

b. directions: rewrite each example, following the directions. 1. replace the sweeping generalization with a positive message of encouragement. none of you springton residents bother to recycle, even though we have made the process easier. you just dont care about our town. 2. replace the negative loaded language below with a more positive message. we need a new library because the old one is so crowded and cramped that theres no room to breathe.

Explanation:

Sub - question 1

The original statement uses a sweeping generalization ("None of you...") and negative language. To rewrite it, we should avoid generalizing all residents and use encouraging language. A positive message would recognize that some residents recycle and encourage more to do so, highlighting the town - caring aspect. For example, "Many Springton residents already recycle, and we hope more of you will join in to show your care for our town, especially since we've made the recycling process easier."

The original sentence has negative loaded language ("crowded and cramped", "no room to breathe"). To make it positive, we can focus on the need for a new library to provide a better space. For example, "We need a new library to provide a more spacious and comfortable environment for everyone, as the old library is currently at full capacity."

Answer:

Many Springton residents already recycle, and we hope more of you will join in to show your care for our town, especially since we've made the recycling process easier.
