the following paragraph, replacing general words with more exact ones and creating
variety in sentence struc-
ture. (Note: You may also have to revise for clarity to address some of the problems in this paragraph.)

Wordiness and ambiguity often prevent ideas from coming across clearly. Edit your
sentences to eliminate clut-
ter and unnecessary repetition. Revise sentences that use overly
informal or overused words, and
exchange the pas-
sive voice for the active. Clarify ambiguous words and unclear pronoun references. Finally, improve
your writing
by using precise modifiers and adding variety to your sentence structure.
