which revised sentence reduces wordiness?

(1 point)

when i was thinking hard yesterday i realized something
i realized i really need to start exercising.
yesterday i realized something while thinking long and hard.
it finally occurred to me that i really need to exercise.

Explanation:

To reduce wordiness, we need a sentence that conveys the main idea (realizing the need to exercise) concisely. The original sentence's key point is the realization about exercising. The option "I realized I really need to start exercising" removes the extra details about "yesterday" and "thinking long and hard" while keeping the core message, making it the most concise and less wordy.

Answer:

I realized I really need to start exercising.
