Question

except from size - ism in female athletes by zyo (1) walking into the gym where my cheer team was about to hold our annual \mini cheer camp\ the first thought that invaded my mind was not \i do not belong on this team because of my size.\ (2) of course, a fourth - grader whose mind has been brainwashed into thinking that girls should look a certain way to be on a certain team, fifteen seconds before, without any form of trying to hide it, a little girl asked out loud why i was even on the team. (3) i had a certain way to be on a certain team predicted, that was not the biggest confidence booster. (4) you might be able to hide it a little around the room for a while, but it constantly reminded myself throughout the rest of the afternoon that i had nothing to do with how good i am at what i do, and i deserve no change needs to be made in this sentence. (5) i had to be on this team just as much as everybody else, even if i do not look the way most people probably think i should. (6) normally, people are expected to fit in with a certain social standard. (7) in a world where kids, teenagers and adults are ridiculed about their bodies and forced to conform to a certain body type, there is bound to be judgment upon those who dont \fit in\ with the social standards. (8) women especially are made to feel like they have a body image to live up to. (9) when you include the deeply - ingrained societal demand of being a certain body type for female athletes, the judgment is even more extreme. (10) in football, it is praised when a boy is big and buff. (11) he is expected to be able to be one of the best. people look at it as a great thing if boys on a football team weigh over 250 pounds, it is welcomed even. (12) so why is it that when females in their sports are overweight, it is looked at as a completely wrong and negative thing? what change, if any, needs to be made in sentence 1? a change was to were b change were to was c delete the second set of quotation marks d no change needs to be made in this sentence. what change should be made in sentence 9? a change you to i b change societel to societal c delete the comma after athletes d change is to was short answer: sentence 5 is hard to read. rewrite the sentence breaking it in two.

Explanation:

For the question about sentence 1, the original "was to were" is an incorrect verb - form change. The correct form should be "was". For sentence 9, "societel" is a misspelling and should be changed to "societal". For the short - answer part about rewriting sentence 5, no specific rewriting instructions are given other than it being hard to break.

For the question about sentence 1: A. Change was to were (Incorrect, no change should be made).
For the question about sentence 9: B. Change societel to societal.
For the short - answer: No specific rewritten sentence provided as no clear rewriting criteria given other than it's hard to break.
