<h3>What is a revision?</h3>

A revision is a correction, an alteration made to a sentence, paragraph or text with the purpose of improving its readability and comprehension. Here, we must revise the portion " because riding without one is stυpid."

The problem with that portion is that it uses an aggressive word to state an opinion. We must find an option that conveys the same idea without sounding so offensive.

With that in mind, we can choose option A as the best answer. Option B is still a bit biased and offensive. Options C and D do not convey the same idea.

Option A is the one that expresses the same opinion, but in a more polite manner: "riding without one is dangerous and reckless."

The complete question with the underlined portion of the sentence is:

"Always wear a helmet when riding a bike <u>because riding without one is </u><u>stυpid."</u> Which revision exhibits the best word choice for the underlined portion of the sentence?
