Answer to Question 1

Answer: Editing business documents for conciseness is important because readers appreciate it and are more likely to read your documents if you have a reputation for efficient writing. Improving the conciseness of a message involves removing unnecessary words and phrases, shortening long words and phrases, and eliminating redundancies. It also requires shortening sentences that begin with indefinite pronouns such as it and there.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: The consulting firm that provides financial estimates and accounting services will be closed next week.
