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.

Write a story to illustrate the saying a good name is better than riches​
Y_Kistochka [10]
Hey here’s a short story.
His name became a synonym for honesty and he also won the Silverbird Man-of-the-Year award for his honesty. He forgave Mr. Akinwande and Nwokocha and even gave them money for the upkeep of their families. Thus indeed, a good name is better than riches.
Hope it helps : )
