Question 2 • DBN LA 6-CR

Read the sentence.The group of friends came to a consensus about which movie they would agree to see together.What is the best way to rewrite the sentence to avoid repetition?

Answer
A
The group of friends came to a consensual agreement to see a movie together.
B
Together the group of friends came to a consensus about which movie they would agree to see.
C
The group of friends came to an agreement about the movie they would see together.
D
Together they agreed as consenting friends about which movie to see.

Explanation

“Consensus” means agreement, and “consensus” and “agree” repeat the same idea in the original sentence. Choice C replaces “came to a consensus” with “came to an agreement” and removes “would agree,” while keeping the original meaning. The other choices retain repetitive wording or introduce awkward phrasing.
