Question

Compare the bold sections of both sentences and then answer the question that follows: Original: My father disliked sleet, but my father disliked hail more. Revised: My father disliked sleet, but he hated hail more. What was done to the bolded section to improve the sentence?

Answer 1

Repetitive words were replaced with synonyms and pronouns.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the original sentence, there is a repetition of the phrase "my father disliked" which makes it a case of repetition. The revised version replaces the repetition with a pronoun "he" and also replaced the verb "disliked" with a synonym "hated".

This correction makes the sentence better and the improvement gave the sentence a much clearer picture.

Thus, the correct answer is the last/ fourth option.
