Question

Concise writing will save your reader time and make your message easier to understand. During phase three of the 3-x-3 writing process, revise for conciseness by rejecting redundancies and purging empty words. Which of the following options are redundancies? Check all that apply.

A. Essential information
B. New beginning
C. New requirement
D. Repeat again

Answer 1

All of the above

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

New beginning

Repeat again

Step-by-step explanation:

Conciseness in writing involves avoiding redundancy. Redundancy means using words more than necessary or using words that mean the same thing in a sentence. For example, I saw it with my own eyes can edited into I saw it, because see has the meaning of with eyes in itself.

Repeat again includes redundancy. Repeat means say something again.

New beginning has redundancy, as ‘new’ is included in the word ‘beginning’.
