Answer to Question 1

The shorter words are (a) list, (b) review, (c) use, and (d) change. Examples will vary.

Answer to Question 2

When a person leaves out vital information, the message is not accurate. The receiver does not have all the information needed to make an intelligent, accurate decision. Furthermore, accuracy is affected by shades of the meaning that result from word choices. For example, the word disaster may be an inaccurate synonym for problem. Consider also the more subtle difference between saying that someone maintains something and saying that someone claims something. Using claims may imply that the individual is not sincere or is insisting on something that is not accurate
