Final answer:

Sentences that are overly wordy, unclear, or redundant need revision for a clearer narrative. This includes ensuring topic sentences are concise, supportive of the thesis, and free from unclear pronouns and logically fallacious statements. The conclusion must effectively summarize the main points.

Step-by-step explanation:

To improve the clarity of a narrative and eliminate logical fallacies, sentences showing excessive wordiness, lack of clarity, or redundancy should be revised or removed. While sentence 2 may provide topic sentence clarification or necessary background information, if it contains logical fallacies or is not concise, it should be modified. Sentences that contain phrases such as 'There are...' or 'It is...', which do not add meaning, should be edited for conciseness. Additionally, sentence 3 may need to be revised if it includes unclear pronouns like 'you' and 'this', as these can cause confusion about the subject.



For sentence 4, ensure it supports the thesis statement directly and is not just filler. Sentences like sentence 5 should be examined for repetition and could potentially be combined with other sentences to improve the narrative flow and avoid choppiness. Lastly, sentence 6 should conclude the narrative effectively. If it does not tie up the main points of the passage clearly, it needs to be revised to provide a solid conclusion.
