B) Rewrite the passage in language that is as emotively neutral as possible but still retains the same informational content."Citizens for a Clean Community caused quite a commotion the other day when it announced its campaign to end the sale or rent of so-called adult and X-rated videos and movies.""There immediately came the usual charges of censorship and free speech violations-as could have been predicted.""We certainly would be the first to defend someone's right to read or view whatever they please. But make no mistake, those who are offended by this smut have every right to
express their frustration by protesting its distribution.... And this kind of material is completely debasing and has no redeeming value whatsoever...."-Cascade News
