Choosing Precise Words to Eliminate Wordiness and Redundancy

Question 46338 • SS-English Language Arts 7

Which phrase should be replaced with more specific details?

Answer
A
We went
B
to the petting zoo
C
and saw
D
a lot of animals

Explanation

“A lot of animals” is vague because it doesn’t say which animals or how many. Replacing it with specific details, such as “three goats, two sheep, and a dozen rabbits,” would make the sentence clearer. The other phrases tell where the group went and what they did.
