Answer to Question 1

Answer: E
Explanation: E) Editing for conciseness involves deleting unnecessary words and phrases, shortening long words and phrases, eliminating redundancies, and rewriting sentences that start with it is or there are.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: E

They can't measure any of the other factors that affect readability, such as document design, the you attitude, clear sentence structure, smooth transitions, and proper word usage.
