Question 13 • CMS 2025-2026 English I CREDIT RECOVERY

Read the paragraph. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. wrote great speeches. He often included well-known American songs and documents in his writing. These words encouraged listeners to connect his ideas to their own experiences. Which revisions for the underlined phrase make the writing more precise? Choose two correct answers.

Answer
A
used important speeches
B
crafted meaningful speeches
C
gave nice speeches
D
created powerful speeches
E
said beautiful speeches

Explanation

“Crafted meaningful speeches” and “created powerful speeches” make the original phrase more precise by replacing the vague word “great” with clearer descriptions of the speeches’ impact or importance. “Used important speeches” changes the meaning, while “gave nice speeches” and “said beautiful speeches” are less precise or awkwardly phrased.
