Choosing Precise Words to Eliminate Wordiness and Redundancy

Question 1 • SS-English Language Arts 7

Pick the sentence that uses both vivid verbs and specific nouns to describe the scene.

Answer
A
We saw it basking in the sun.
B
The alligator blended into the swamp.
C
The alligator was by the water.
D
The animal was by the water on a sunny day.

Explanation

“The alligator blended into the swamp” uses the specific noun “alligator” and the vivid verb “blended,” which clearly describes what it did. The other sentences use less specific nouns such as “it” or “the animal,” or less vivid verbs such as “was.”
