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
Explanation: E) Readability indexes offer a useful reference point, but they are limited by what they are able to measure: word length, number of syllables, sentence length, and paragraph length.
