Question

Which sentence demonstrates wordiness?

A) Women's rugby is my favorite sport.
Eliminate

B) The stadium quickly reached capacity.

C) The thunderstorm is frightening the children.

D) In my opinion, I think lemon pudding is delicious.

Answer 1

The answer is D. "in my opinion" and "I think" mean the same thing, so no need for both. Technically, both in my opinion" and "I think" can be removed, since sentences describing personal tastes and aesthetic judgements are by definition opinions, and things one thinks.
