  2. Example Question Stems • How could sentence 8 be written to reduce wordiness? • To reduce wordiness, which is the best revision of sentence 3? • Which change should be made to improve the clarity of sentence 28? • Which if the following best combines sentences 6 and 7 to improve conciseness and clarity?

  3. Tips • Read the answers first! If a sentence is incorrectly written; it’s a wrong choice! I like Toto he is small. • I like Toto, he is small. • I like Toto: he is small. • I like Toto, nor he is small. You can eliminate them all!

  4. Another Tip • Next, read the original sentence (s). Make sure the remaining choices have preserved the information. Don’t choose an answer that has missing or incorrect information from the original sentence (s). I like Toto he is small. a. I like Toto; he is sweet.

  5. Yet another Tip • Don’t let the new sentence repeat information. I like Toto he is small. • I like small Toto, and he is small. • Toto is a small dog whom I like because he is small.
