Answer:

The first sentence: A car uses four wheels and an engine to transport people.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the sentence, it is stated that the car has four wheels and an engine, then stating the purpose of those two things, thus being precise.

With the other sentences, yes they are stating was has happened, but the diction isn't very detailed. The first sentence lists two things, then states the purpose, using the word transport. In the sentence describing the red Mustang, the word zipped is used which indicates poor diction.

I hope this helps!
