Question

read the sentence from alena’s essay.
in their efforts to understand the meaning of the mysterious latin phrase, the group works together to explore different possibilities, solve various riddles, and look through books and maps for additional clues.
how should alena revise this sentence for both concision and precision?
● by changing the beginning of the sentence to \in their efforts to decipher the latin text\
○ by replacing \the group works\ with \charlotte and her peers work\
○ by removing \explore different possibilities\ and \look through books and maps for additional clues\
○ by editing the end of the sentence to \the group collaborates to analyze clues and solve riddles\

Explanation:

The original sentence is wordy and redundant. Changing the beginning to "In their efforts to decipher the Latin text" directly links the group's action to the purpose of understanding the Latin phrase, eliminating unnecessary phrases like "explore different possibilities" and "look through books and maps for additional clues" which are implied in deciphering. This makes the sentence concise and precise.

Answer:

by changing the beginning of the sentence to "In their efforts to decipher the Latin text"
