Choosing Precise Words to Eliminate Wordiness and Redundancy

Question 7 • SS-English Language Arts 7

Choose the sentence that includes precise and clear word choices.

Answer
A
The speech was a very powerful speech.
B
The class president gave a rousing speech that inspired everyone to work together to rebuild the storm-damaged gym.
C
The student made a speech to everyone to convince them to work together.
D
The speech reminded us to work together to rebuild the gym together after all the damage the storm caused, the class president told us in his speech.

Explanation

Choice B uses specific words to explain what the speech was like and what it inspired people to do. “Rousing” is more precise than “very powerful,” and the sentence clearly identifies the goal: working together to rebuild the storm-damaged gym. The other choices are vague or repetitive.
