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.

ivann1987 [24]

A. the external conflict of character versus character

B. the internal conflict of character versus self

C. the external conflict of character versus nature

D. the external conflict of character versus society

the external conflict of character versus character

Answer: Option A.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The call of the wild has been written by Jack London. It mostly talks about the nature, the environment who is appealing to the human beings.

This shows the emotions which are shown by the nature to the human beings and since the environment is totally pure and clean in itself, the type of emotions which are shown by the nature are very raw and not at all made up in itself.

Where would i put commas in this sentence?
vovikov84 [41]
You should put comma next to a word that will separate the meaning of the sentence, so your sentence will make sense after all.
