Choosing Precise Words to Eliminate Wordiness and Redundancy

Question 46339 • SS-English Language Arts 7

Choose the most descriptive revision of this sentence.

Answer
A
Last night, we watched the meteor shower from my backyard.
B
A meteor shower happens when many meteors fall to Earth at the same time.
C
Last night, we watched dozens of bright meteors streak across the sky.
D
Last night, at about ten o’clock, my parents and I watched the meteor shower.

Explanation

Choice C gives the clearest, most vivid description by adding specific details: there were dozens of meteors, they were bright, and they streaked across the sky. Choice A mainly adds where the event happened, while D adds the time and who was there. Choice B explains what a meteor shower is rather than describing the event in the sentence.
