read the paragraph.\ndr. martin luther king jr. wrote great speeches. he often included well - known american songs and documents in his writing. these words encouraged listeners to connect his ideas to their own experiences.\nwhich revisions for the underlined phrase make the writing more precise? select two answers.\ngave nice speeches\ncreated powerful speeches\ncrafted meaningful speeches\nused important speeches\nsaid beautiful speeches
Answer
Brief Explanations:
To make the writing more precise, we need to choose phrases that accurately describe Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s speech - writing in a more detailed and appropriate way.
- "created powerful speeches": The word "created" is a good alternative to "wrote" and "powerful" gives a more specific description of the speeches' impact, which is in line with how his speeches were impactful.
- "crafted meaningful speeches": "Crafted" implies a careful and deliberate creation, and "meaningful" reflects the fact that his speeches had deep significance and were meant to connect with listeners' experiences.
- "gave nice speeches" is too vague and "nice" is not a precise description.
- "used important speeches" is incorrect as he wrote (created) the speeches, not used existing ones.
- "said beautiful speeches" is an incorrect usage (we don't "say" speeches in this context) and "beautiful" is not a precise description of the speeches' nature.
Answer:
B. created powerful speeches C. crafted meaningful speeches
