Question

which sentence is most clear and concise? *
a. vera told a scary and frightening story
b. vera told a story that frightened framton
c. vera told a very scary frightening story
d. vera told a frightening scary story

Explanation:

To determine the clearest and concise sentence, we analyze each option:

• Option A: "scary" and "frightening" are redundant (synonyms), so it's not concise.
• Option B: It conveys the meaning clearly without redundancy, stating that Vera told a story with the effect of frightening Framton.
• Option C: "very scary" and "frightening" are redundant, adding unnecessary words.
• Option D: "frightening" and "scary" are redundant, making the sentence wordy.

Answer:

B. Vera told a story that frightened Framton
