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.

Select the correct text in the passage. Which sentences contribute to a sense of hope in this excerpt from "The Story of an Hour

I'm not sure if you have any options to choose from - if not, this is the sentence I'd pick:
<span>She could see in the open square before her house the tops of trees that were all aquiver with the new spring life. 
This sentence shows us hope through the imagery of spring and everything being born or reborn. Even though she lost her husband, she would find a way to become happy again (or rather quickly, according to this story) which gives us a sense of hope.

If you can choose more than one sentence, I'd also pick this one:
</span><span>There were patches of blue sky showing here and there through the clouds that had met and piled one above the other in the west facing her window. 
Anything having to do with nature and its beauty will give us hope.
</span>
