The best way to eliminate wordiness is the following:

<em> The audience gave the guest speaker a standing ovation.</em>

Wordiness is the use of more words than necessary to express an idea. The phrase <em>"to give a standing ovation"</em> already comprises the ideas of "rose up" and <em>"applauded"</em>. Thus, they are not necessary in the sentence. Replacing those words with the words <em>"gave the guest speaker a standing ovation"</em> is the right way to eliminate wordiness in that sentence.

irakobra [83]

The correct answer is B. The effects of slavery are much worse than the effects of materialism.

A critique is an evaluation or assessment in which the author aims at analyzing the positive and negative aspects of some material (novel, story, movie). This implies for a critique to be valid it needs to provide some judgment that analyses a specific aspect of the material analyzed. In the excerpt presented from Utopia, it is explained the Prince or government decided to use precious materials such as gold or silver in objects such as chamber-pots or close-stools to avoid people feel these materials are special. Additionally, these materials are used to show slavers are inferior by creating gold chains and making slavers wear gold earrings.

This means statement B. is evaluation the aspects of the excerpt which is the main purpose of a critique.
