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.

Summary of "The Value of a Sherpa Life" by Grayson Schaffer?
Roman55 [17]

Not enough attention has been paid to the risks taken by Sherpas, who perform dangerous work for relatively low pay, and their deaths aren’t being given the same weight in the media as the Western climbers who hire them.

What is memorable about this essay is that the author includes the number sixteen, which is the number of Sherpa deaths that he mentions in the first paragraph.

Hope this helped!
