Question

Which of the following would best replace the underlined portion of this sentence?

Because time was limited, the drama club presented an abbreviated performance of Hamlet.
A.
an accurate
B.O a condensed
c. O an expanded
D.O a superior

Answer 1

B. a condensed

Step-by-step explanation:

In the context of time, abbreviated means shorter. When it comes to play, this shortening is usually done by omitting some of the scenes or dialogue.

In this sense, this word can be replaced by word "condense" since we are talking about fitting something longer lasting into shorter period of time.

Of course, one should not forget that these two words aren't synonyms, and that they mustn't be used as such in every context.
