writing teacher gave him constructive criticism on his last story. she told him he was over - describing the setting and instructed him to revise it. what is one of the most effective ways to do this?
eliminate one of the central characters.
cut down on the amount of dialogue between the characters.
limit the amount of details so he doesnt bog down the story.
rearrange the order of the scenes.

Explanation:

Since the problem is about revising a story due to over - describing the setting, we need to focus on elements related to description. Eliminating a central character (which is about character development, not setting description), cutting dialogue (related to character interaction, not setting), and rearranging scenes (about story structure, not description) are not directly related to reducing over - description of the setting. Limiting details directly addresses over - description.

Answer:

Limit the amount of details so he doesn’t bog down the story.
