The correct answer is C. The failing company was going to bankrupt
Explanation:
The term wordiness refers to using more words than the necessary ones to express an idea or make a point, which is related to redundancy and in some cases complex or abstract words that make confusing the meaning of a sentence. This is a common writing mistake as some writers believe longer sentences are better but in most cases, the use of excessive words creates problems in coherence and distract the reader from the real meaning. In the case of the sentence "The failing company was not going to succeed because it was bankrupt and did not have any money left" the words "not going to succeed" are not necessary as the reader already know the company is failing also the expression "did not have any money" is redundant and not necessary to explain the word "bankrupt". Considering this, the best way to revise this sentence "The failing company was going to bankrupt" by leaving only the essential elements.
