Question

which of the following statements is the best example of clear writing that avoids language confusing to readers? our newest promotion is gaining traction. we need to broaden our horizons. our sales are increasing thanks to our new strategy.

Explanation:

To determine the best example of clear writing, we analyze each option:

• "Our newest promotion is gaining traction" uses the metaphor "gaining traction," which might be unclear to some readers as it's not a literal, straightforward description.
• "We need to broaden our horizons" is a figurative expression and lacks specific, clear meaning about what action is needed.
• "Our sales are increasing thanks to our new strategy" is direct and specific, clearly stating the relationship between sales, the new strategy, and the outcome (increase in sales) without using ambiguous or figurative language.

Answer:

Our sales are increasing thanks to our new strategy.
