Correct Modifiers and Concise Wording

Question 3 • DBN LA 6-CR

Which strategy is the best way to improve clarity in a wordy sentence?

Answer
A
Use more synonyms.
B
Avoid using adverbs.
C
Eliminate redundancies.
D
Use more modifiers.

Explanation

A wordy sentence often repeats ideas or includes unnecessary phrases. Eliminating those redundancies makes the sentence shorter and easier to understand. The best choice is “Eliminate redundancies”; adding synonyms or modifiers could make it wordier, and avoiding all adverbs is not a general clarity rule.
