Combine the following sentences using appropriate conjunctions to have just one complex sentence. a) Citizens believe that they have the right. c) They can be whatever they desire. b) They can do whatever they desire. d) This right exists as long as they do not hurt others.

Answer and Explanation:

Since the instructions do not ask us to use any specific conjunctions, let's just use the most obvious ones. For instance, we can use "or", or "both... and" to join the second and the third sentences. We can also make them shorter by avoiding repetition. To join the fourth sentence to the rest, we can use "but" or "although", since it is offering an explanation that contradicts/imposes a condition over what was said earlier. Thus:

- Citizens believe that they have the right to be or do whatever they desire, but this right exists as long as they do not hurt others.

- Citizens believe that they have the right to both be and do whatever they desire, although this right exists as long as they do not hurt others.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
