Answer to Question 1

Answer: The customer will ultimately decide whether to purchase.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Editing for clarity involves breaking up overly long sentences and rewriting sentences that contain hedging (words such as may and seems). It also requires imposing parallelism, or using the same grammatical pattern to express two or more similar ideas. Correcting dangling modifiers is another necessary step, along with rewording long noun sequences. Improving the clarity of a document also involves eliminating camouflaged verbs, clarifying sentence structure and awkward sentences, and moderating your enthusiasm.
