Explanation:

Question 9: Analyze conciseness and redundancy

The original phrase "is about" in "The story of the Roosevelt marriage is about..." is redundant when paired with "The story of...". Replacing "is about" with the active verb "reveals" eliminates wordiness and creates a more direct, precise sentence. The option "is a narrative about" increases wordiness.

Question 10: Evaluate historical specificity and precision

The underlined phrase "lifted them out of a depression" refers specifically to Franklin Roosevelt's leadership during the Great Depression. This provides accurate historical specificity. The alternatives "supported them" and "tried to do everything for them" are overly vague, conversational, and lose the precise historical context of the Great Depression. Therefore, no change is needed.

Answer:

Question 9

• reveals (Correct answer)
