Answer to Question 1

a. Clichs are expressions that are monotonous because they have been overused. Writers avoid clichs because they lack freshness and originality.
b. Slang is informal language used within a particular geographic region, demographic group, or culture. Business writers avoid slang because it is not very professional, is short-lived, and might confuse a reader.
c. Buzzwords are important-sounding expressions that people use to try to impress others. Business writers avoid these phrases because buzzwords are typically vague, short-lived, and lack originality.

Answer to Question 2

a. After extensive review, the committee implemented a large change in the company.
b. The researcher should try to measure how much the two groups vary from each other on important characteristics.
c. The results of Cynthia's research are important to the successful completion of the communication project.
