Read the paragraph.
Until 1965, half-dollars and quarters were 90% silver. In late 1965, the U. S. Mint ceased to produce silver coins and instead began to mint
"sandwich" coins made of copper and nickel. This minting was done to allow the silver to be used for industrial purposes, where it was badly
needed. Within a year, over 3.5 billion new coins had been minted, and the older silver ones were beginning to disappear from circulation.

Which sentence best summarizes the paragraph?

racism is the belief in the superiority of one race over another, which often results in discrimination and prejudice towards people based on their race or ethnicity. the use of the term "racism" does not easily fall under a single definition.

explanation:

the speech this question is referring to is president kennedy's special message to the congress on urgent national needs, may 25, 1961

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.

the sentence does not violate the phrase structure second rule (introduced by noam chomsky) because noun phrases consist of a determiner such as a, the or every, and a noun. in the sentence, the noun phrase the cake includes a determiner (the) and a noun (cake).

on the other hand, the first rule indicates that a sentence encloses a noun phrase, followed by a verb phrase. the example sentence can be analysed as follows:

john (n) + ate (v) + the (det) + cake (n).
