Answer to Question 1

Answer: A
Explanation: A) Replacing long words and phrases, eliminating redundancies, recasting it is or there are starters and deleting unnecessary words and phrases are part of editing for conciseness. Eliminating hedge sentences are part of editing for clarity. To ensure clarity, look closely at your paragraph organization, sentence structure and word choices.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C
Explanation: C) In some word combinations, the words say the same thing. These are considered to be redundancies. For instance, visible to the eye is redundant because visible is enough without further clarification; to the eye adds nothing.
