Question

Read the following​ sentence, remove the bold portion that would make the sentence more concise: When the scientists added the final chemical into test​ tube, the malodorous liquid turned green in colorA) FinalB) testC) in colour.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "C": in color.

Explanation:

In order to make a sentence more concise, it is better to avoid redundancies, it is setting aside words that have a similar meaning within the same segment. Redundancies are typically useful for literature when the author wants to emphasize the meaning of something. Though, when talking about scientific facts, it is better not to use them because they tend to confuse the meaning of the message delivered. In:

When the scientists added the final chemical into test​ tube, the malodorous liquid turned green in color.

"...in color" does not add meaning to the message. If something turns green it is understood that the color has changed. Thus, to make more concise the sentence we should delete it.
