Answer

Brief Explanations:

The original sentence 5 uses informal language like "awesome" and "a bunch". The revised version "Implementing several of these systems could remove garbage from the oceans" uses more professional and neutral - toned language. The other options either use informal language ("way better", "a ton", "big screen", "the stuff") or change the meaning of the original statements.

Answer:

Change sentence 5 to: "Implementing several of these systems could remove garbage from the oceans."
