A proposed widening of Highway 222 poses numerous problems for people in Lampson and should not be approved by the town council. The Lampson town council should veto the state's proposal to undertake this project. There are several reasons why.
By far. I think your worst problem will be the terrible traffic. If the widening of Main Street three years ago offers any indication, the traffic
backup on the highway will cause trouble for everyone. Being late for school or work is infuriating. In addition, there will be major noise issues.
Construction crews run loud machinery, break up concrete and use bright construction lights all day and even during the middle of the night.
Highway construction creates a stressful and chaotic environment. By joining together, I think we can stand strong against this project.
James must maintain the appropriate focus and tone of his editorial by revising the second paragraph, beginning with the first sentence.
Which revision to the underlined sentence best maintains his formal tone?
O 1. By explaining my own nightmare with a previous construction effort, I hope to demonstrate why this project will cause grief.
2. First, the challenge of motoring around town during major road construction seems overwhelming, unless one prefers to be late.
03. Lampson town officials have historically approved highway projects such as this one, which included lane reconfigurations, without
citizen input
04. Widening the highway will inconvenience local drivers and interstate travelers alike due to increased traffic and long delays caused
by construction
