All right Writing shmoop furs Here we go Seven of

00:06

eleven The convenience question to get money from other places

00:12

Okay so here we go It's the last one in

00:14

this paragraph here's the sentence with the signing of the

00:17

declaration of independence on july fourth seventeen seventy six the

00:21

newborn recently i po'd republic was able to get money

00:26

from other places as a sovereign nation so they borrowed

00:31

money from the french based that's It that's killing us

00:33

So let's think about this This essay is a fairly

00:36

formal with its language and specific with its details The

00:40

phrase that most closely matches the tone of the rest

of the essay is the one with a fancy word

First version would've been just fine schmuck but no that's

01:01

not right for this essay as is well the phrase

01:04

01:21

Although in our financial success and the two centuries that

01:24

followed all this a lot of people do use The

01:28

different story anyway Bottom line answers the two secure loans 00:01:32.522 --> [endTime] from abroad
