Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

The following techniques will help you produce concise messages:
a. Eliminate redundancies. A redundancy is a phrase in which one word unnecessarily repeats an idea contained in an accompanying word.
b. Use active voice to reduce the number of words. Passive voice typically adds unnecessary words, such as prepositional phrases.
c. Review the main purpose of your writing, and identify relevant details needed for the receiver to understand and take necessary action. More information is not necessarily better information.
d. Eliminate clichs that are often wordy and not necessary to understand the message. They will only delay the major purpose of the message.
e. Do not restate ideas that are sufficiently implied. Wordy sentences should be made concise, yet the meaning should not be affected.
f. Shorten sentences by using suffixes or prefixes, making changes in word form, or substituting precise words for phrases.
g. Use a compound adjective. By using the compound adjective, you can reduce the number of words required to express your ideas and thus save the reader a little time.
