Dear Commissioners:
I have enjoyed for many years the privilege of living in one of the safest neighborhoods in the country. Today, a large majority of this community feels that our security is compromised by a serious threat. You alone can help us to remove this danger from our lives. There have been a number of serious accidents at the crossroads and crossings along Main Street due to increased traffic through our town. We beg you to place effective streetlamps along all the crossroads and crossings as soon as possible. By doing this, you will save many lives and earn our gratitude.
Sincerely,
Debbie Green

Plz me asap select the correct text in the passage. which two sentences in the passage introduce counterarguments to the speaker’s position in favor of recycling? we only have a limited number of resources to serve humans around the globe. by recycling and reusing the resources we have, we can preserve what untouched natural resources we have while extending the life of the resources we’re currently using. admittedly, we cannot reuse or recycle all of the materials we use in our daily lives. some materials are not recyclable, such as certain food containers. others items are not biodegradable regardless of what we reuse them for, and that can create problems in the long run. my opponent would use these limitations of our ability to recycle to counter my points about the materials we can recycle. however, this is not an “all or nothing” scenario. we should reuse and recycle the materials that we can and try our best not to buy materials and products that can’t be reused or recycled. by doing our part and encouraging others to do their part, we can increase our chances of conserving our remaining natural and manmade resources over time.
