1. question 14

f
g
h
j

Explanation:

For Question 14, we need to find the option that provides wordiness and redundancy. Let's analyze each option:

• Option E: "NO CHANGE" – The original underlined part is "providing a multi - sensory experience". We need to check if other options are more wordy or redundant.
• Option G: "making my mouth water and my eyes open wider" – This is a more detailed and somewhat wordy description compared to the original concise phrase. It also repeats the sensory engagement in a more drawn - out way, adding redundancy.
• Option H: "which engaged my senses on several levels" – This is a more concise rephrasing and does not add wordiness or redundancy.
• Option J: "DELETE the underlined portion and end the sentence with a period" – This would make the sentence less descriptive and does not add wordiness or redundancy.

So, Option G is the one that best provides wordiness and redundancy as it is a more verbose and redundant way of expressing the sensory experience compared to the original or other options.

Answer:

G. making my mouth water and my eyes open wider
