Answer:

Where you write pompous, bombastic nonsense is Fustian writing.

Step-by-step explanation:

This phrase is the only one among the options provided that is confusing, without coherence, cohesion or meaning. With this, we can conclude that it is the revision that does not improve the awkward and illogical construction.

(I've done that problem before, I had gotten it right, I hope this helps)

Answer:

Hello,

This is your current sentence:

Idiosyncrasies are where a person has peculiar mannerisms and habits.

It can be revised like this: Idiosyncrasies is a condition in which a person has peculiar mannerisms or habits.

Step-by-step explanation:

"Idiosyncrasies ARE where a person..." doesn't really make sense. revising it in the way that I just showed you helps the sentence to be clear to the reader and more grammatically accurate.

Have a great day! :)
