He later received an honorable discharge in 1944 after being acquitted of all charges at the court-martial. Which sentence BEST revises the sentence above to eliminate wordiness? A) He received an honorable discharge in 1944. B) He received an honorable discharge in 1944 after being acquitted of all charges. C) He later received an honorable discharge after being acquitted at the court-martial. D) He later received a discharge after being acquitted of all charges at the court-martial.

Answer: B. He received an honorable discharge in 1944 after being acquitted of all charges

Explanation:

Wordiness is a common mistake made by people when writing and wordiness has to do with the use of too many words or when the writer uses abstract words. One effect of wordiness is that it may lead to frustration on the part of the reader.

In the sentence "He later received an honorable discharge in 1944 after being acquitted of all charges at the court-martial", time was expressed by the writer using "1944" and "later". This is wordiness as the same thing is repeated using different word.

Also, another wordiness was when the writer used "acquitted of charges at the court". Adding "Thus at the court" wasn't necessary because we know that someone acquitted of charges would have definitely happened at the court.

Based on the above analysis, option B " He received an honorable discharge in 1944 after being acquitted of all charges" eliminate wordiness.

What does the phrase “cease repining” mean in the stanza?

Q.1) Read this short passage and answer the question below:Cruising into a Driverless Future

By Chloe Reichel


Eerie as it may seem to drive alongside a car with no one behind the wheel, autonomous vehicles are poised to hit the roads in the next few years. A lawsuit between Uber and Waymo, Google’s self-driving car project, settled in February 2018 illustrates the fierce battle to develop driverless car technology. Many cars already employ semi-autonomous technology, such as parking assistance and lane monitoring. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) suggests that automated vehicles could promote safety on the road. According to NHTSA’s Federal Automated Vehicles Policy, 94 percent of car accidents are linked to human choice or error. Automated vehicles, the NHTSA writes, could reduce the frequency of crashes by eliminating some human error on the roads. The policy indicates positive features of automated vehicles beyond safety, including potential environmental benefits and increased mobility for those otherwise unable to drive. The cutting-edge technology, however, presents ethical questions and other concerns. Some research included in this roundup indicates that the environmental effects of widespread adoption of autonomous vehicles might not be positive. Safety benefits are not so clear-cut either.


The author organizes this passage by—

A) comparing and contrasting different findings on autonomous vehicles

B) explaining the best way to research the safety of autonomous vehicles

C) presenting in chronological order the progress of autonomous vehicles

D) describing the outcome of extensive research on autonomous vehicles

Q.2) Which quotation challenges the idea that automated vehicles are a welcomed commodity?
A) “Automated vehicles, the NHTSA writes, could reduce the frequency of crashes by eliminating some human error on the roads.”
B) “Some research included in this roundup indicates that the environmental effects of widespread adoption of autonomous vehicles might not be positive. Safety benefits are not so clear-cut either. “
C) “Eerie as it may seem to drive alongside a car with no one behind the wheel, autonomous vehicles are poised to hit the roads in the next few years.”
D) “Many cars already employ semi-autonomous technology, such as parking assistance and lane monitoring.”

Excerpt from The Little Mermaid
By Hans Christian Andersen

"Come, little sister," said the other princesses; then they entwined their arms and rose up in a long row to the surface of the water, close by the spot where they knew the prince's palace stood. It was built of bright yellow shining stone, with long flights of marble steps, one of which reached quite down to the sea. Splendid gilded cupolas rose over the roof, and between the pillars that surrounded the whole building stood life-like statues of marble. Through the clear crystal of the lofty windows could be seen
noble rooms, with costly silk curtains and hangings of tapestry; while the walls were covered with beautiful paintings which were a pleasure to look at. In the center of the largest saloon a fountain threw its sparkling jets high up into the glass cupola of the ceiling, through which the sun shone down upon the water and upon the beautiful plants growing round the basin of the fountain. Now that she knew where he lived, she spent many an evening and many a night on the water near the palace. She would swim much nearer the shore than any of the others ventured to do; indeed once she went quite up the narrow channel under the marble balcony, which threw a broad shadow on the water. Here she would sit and watch the young prince, who thought himself quite alone in the bright moonlight. She saw him many times of an evening sailing in a pleasant boat, with music playing and flags waving. She peeped out from among the green rushes, and if the wind caught her long silvery-white veil, those who saw it believed it to be a swan, spreading out its wings.
Based on details in the story, the reader can conclude that the little mermaid –
A) cares more about humans than her sisters do
B) loves the beauty of the prince’s palace more than her home
C) is unhappy with her life below the sea
D) is too shy to try and talk to the prince

Read the excerpt from "Children of the Drug Wars.”

By sending these children away, "you are handing them a death sentence,” says José Arnulfo Ochoa Ochoa, an expert in Honduras with World Vision International, a Christian humanitarian aid group. This abrogates international conventions we have signed and undermines our credibility as a humane country. It would be a disgrace if this wealthy nation turned its back on the 52,000 children who have arrived since October, many of them legitimate refugees.

Which phrase from the excerpt contains words with strong connotations that help describe the seriousness of the situation?

“handing them a death sentence”
“abrogates international conventions we have signed”
“turned its back on the 52,000 children”
“legitimate refugees”

excerpt adapted from
I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud
by William Wordsworth
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze,
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way.
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay
Ten thousand sawl at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood
They upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude:
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
