Question

(1) the fear of genetically modified foods is not based in facts. (2) the food and drug administration holds genetically modified foods to the same standard as traditional foods, which means that these new products are equally as safe as products that are already on grocery shelves. (3) in addition, common fruits, including nectarines and seedless grapes, are a result of genetic breeding. what would be the best way of revising the second sentence for a presentation? breaking into two sentences which rewrite of the third sentence could be appropriate for a speech, but not an essay? fruits i eat regularly, including nectarines and seedless grapes, are genetically bred. and im totally fine! do you eat nectarines or seedless grapes? then you already eat foods modified by genetic breeding. you shouldnt eat nectarines or seedless grapes if youre against genetic modification. if you do, then youll be a hypocrite. retry

Explanation:

To determine the appropriate rewrite for a speech (not an essay), we analyze the options:

• The first (incorrect) option is too casual ("I'm totally fine!") and lacks formality for a speech's persuasive yet professional tone.
• The second option ("Do you eat nectarines or seedless grapes? Then you already eat foods modified by genetic breeding.") uses a rhetorical question to engage the audience, which is suitable for a speech (interactive, conversational tone) but less so for an essay (more formal, expository).
• The third option is accusatory ("you'll be a hypocrite"), which is inappropriate for both speech and essay due to its negative tone.

So the middle option is best as it connects with the audience in a speech - like manner.

Answer:

Do you eat nectarines or seedless grapes? Then you already eat foods modified by genetic breeding.
