Reconstruction of the following sentence: "It activates the potential of the crowd to help..." [closed]
I need to reconstruct the following sentence in another way: "It activates the potential of the crowd to help..." Suggestions please!
Solution 1:
I understand that phrase "activates the potential" is the issue, but it's not because it's a terrible phrase. It's just an uncommon way of writing, since "potential" typically doesn't act as the object or target of an action. But your phrasing is neither non-grammatical nor syntactically flawed, so you could leave it as it is. You could replace the phrase with a word like encourages, allows, permits, or enables.
