Sentence Transformation Exercise
In the first sentence, it is widely maintained that recycling reduces damage. We need to start with Most people advocate.
1. Original: It is widely maintained that recycling some products reduces the amount of damage we do to the environment.
Advocate can be followed by a noun phrase or a gerund. Here, we can say recycling some products reduces environmental damage. So, Most people advocate recycling some products to reduce environmental damage.
Now for the second sentence. Some people still oppose the view that mothers can be career women too. We need to start with: Some people feel.
2. Original: Some people still oppose the view that mothers can be career women too.
The opposite of opposing is the feeling that something should not be the case. So we say: Some people feel that mothers should not be career women too.
In the third one, the argument against nuclear testing is its long-lasting effects. We start with: Sceptics point out that.
