Writing Homework Help

I’m working on a communications question and need guidance to help me understand better.

For numbers 1-5, decide if attribution is necessary

in the sentence. If it is, rewrite the sentence. If it is not necessary, write No Attribution

Needed.

For numbers 6-10, correctly write the sentence using broadcast style attribution,

and/or correct crime reporting broadcast errors.
