Read the paragraph.Driving to the fair was a troublesome, difficult situation today. We planned on leaving at 5:30 p.m., which was unfortunately during rush hour. The traffic would be horrible and we did not want to be stuck. We decided to consult a map in an attempt to find an alternative route. Which sentence should be rewritten to improve the clarity of the paragraph?
Sentence 1 should be rewritten because “troublesome” and “difficult” mean nearly the same thing, making the sentence wordy. It also awkwardly calls driving a “situation.” A clearer version could be: “Driving to the fair was difficult today.”
