Respond to the prompt:How well do you think you understood this section? Initially, I failed in my first attempt to comprehend the theory profoundly. However, I read more and discussed it with other students and reviewed the lecture you taught, which helps me significantly. Now I think I understand the whole section.How many mistakes did you make? After checking my work with the answer key, I realized I made a mistake in statement No.4 in exercise 5. Actually, I was slightly confused about this. The answer key shows that [differ] is the verb of way but way is a singular noun. In my opinion, [differ] is the verb of problems and [has] is the verb of way. The second way [has] that U.S. environmental justice problems [differ] often differ from those in Southeast Asia has to do with the nature of the problems themselves.What questions do you have about this section? After accomplishing the assignment, I have a couple of questions related to Exercise 6. In what context should we use the sentences using prepositional phrases? And why these kinds of sentences are more effective. -------- Thank you for your assessment --------
