Leah Wells · Answer 1

The ''space race'' by competing scientists occurred during the Cold War.

Explanation:

This sentence draws attention to the object of the action because the object in this case is the space race. This sentence uses the verb occur which applies directly to the space race. The information about who performed the action and when it was performed are contained within prepositional phrases. This allows the information to be secondary and not the main focus of the sentence.
