Question

Read the sentence. The group of friends came to a consensus about which movie they would agree to see together. What is the best way to rewrite the sentence to avoid repetition?

A.The group of friends came to a consensual agreement to see a movie together.
B. Together the group of friends came to a consensus about which movie they would agree to see.
C. The group of friends came to an agreement about the movie they would see together.
D.Together they agreed as consenting friends about which movie to see.

Answer 1

In my view, the best line to avoid repetition is C. The group of friends came to an agreement about the movie they would see together.

Indeed, it avoids most of the previous wording while at the same time preserving the meaning and scope of the sentence. It includes the notion that they came to this agreement together and that the agreement was about which film to watch.
