Please help me I will give out the brain thing and extra points

Dear Ms. Pembroke:

The marching band is planning its annual trip to Florida for a parade and contests. This trip is something that the band members anticipate each year. To prepare for the journey, the members of the band have raised funds to cover their expenses.

The band director, Ms. Lantzy, will be coming on the trip; however, we still need more volunteers. Because you have worked with the band in the past, I believe you would make a wonderful chaperone.

Please consider joining the Smithfield Middle School marching band on our trip to Florida. I believe you would be a wonderful candidate for the position, and I look forward to speaking with you about the trip.

Sincerely,

Madison Ray
Which of these is the BEST transition to use between paragraphs 1 and 2?
A) Although we have paid for our trip, we still need to find chaperones for the event.
B) I am writing to you because I know that you get very excited about traveling.
C) Though we are almost ready for our trip, we still have some things to do.
D) Furthermore, we need help from people in our community.

A) Although we have paid for our trip, we still need to find chaperones for the event

Explanation:

We have to select a sentence that has elements of both paragraphs in it. The first paragraph talks about the fact that money was raised to cover costs. The second talks about how they still need more help in the form of volunteers.

So it should be A) Although we have paid for our trip, we still need to find chaperones for the event

Hope this helps, and please mark me brainliest if it does!

kennedy responds in a very direct and concrete way to those thinking that communism is a positive system:

"yet their aggression is more often concealed than open. they have fired no missiles; and their troops are seldom seen. they send arms, agitators, aid, technicians and propaganda to every troubled area. but where fighting is required, it is usually done by others--by guerrillas striking at night, by assassins striking alone--assassins who have taken the lives of four thousand civil officers in the last twelve months in vietnam alone--by subversives and saboteurs and insurrectionists, who in some cases control whole areas inside of independent nations." (kennedy)

president kennedy presents communism as cowardly, as a hidden and treacherous weapon that strikes from the shadows like thieves, he represents the system as not even being capable of showing and open and overt attack or confrontation. to finish up the response, he expresses that the system attacks even a country's idependence and freedom.

i believe the answer is a
