Original: “In today’s economy, a college education is a necessity. Yet the cost has more than doubled, making it extremely difficult for students to afford. Many are faced with years of paying off student loans, which stops them from meeting their life goals, like home or car ownership. Those purchases help the economy and create jobs.”

Which is the paraphrased version of the above text?

a
President Obama, in his speech on college affordability, discussed what he has done to make college more affordable because he claims that it is important to get a good education. Since college can be expensive, he claims that additional money has been made available for student aid, and student loan repayment has been made more lenient.
b
Given the competitive job market, President Obama points out that it is important to get a good education. However, he admits that the high cost of education can make this a challenge for many students. The knowledge that they will be paying off student loans for years to come causes many potential students concern. They are afraid that student loan debt may prevent them from being able to afford other items like cars or homes. If enough students are in debt that these types of purchases decrease, suggests Obama, the businesses that provide these products will need fewer workers and the job market will become even more difficult.

URGENT. PLS HELPPP. Brainliest to first to answer
Read the passage below:


It is estimated that around four billion trees are cut down each year to make paper. Perhaps that number would have been acceptable 20 years ago, but, in this day and age, it's unacceptable. What makes today so different than 20 years ago? The digital revolution. With everything from medical files, to newspapers, and textbooks offered on digital platforms, why should we continue to destroy the natural environment for the sake of making paper? Governments should make laws limiting paper manufacturers in order to end a practice that is wasteful, destroys rainforests, and harms the environment.


Which statement reflects the writer's position?

b) Governments should make laws limiting paper manufacturers.


c) Why should we continue to destroy the natural environment for the sake of making paper?

“No fire department,” Mr. Tru points out. “No police.”

“How come?” I ask. “Where is everybody?”
