Answer:

The sentence that should be revised for wordiness is "In other words, eating a piece of toast, either plain, with butter, or with peanut butter and with a side of fresh fruit, such as a banana, a plum, or an apple, for breakfast is better than eating doughnuts, candy, or ice cream."

Explanation:

Wordiness means taking longer than what is necessary to get to the point. It happens when we use redundant expressions or simply when we use too many words. That is precisely the case in the sentence above. There are too many words, too many foods, being cited to get to the point. Just a couple of examples would suffice to make it clear that caloric foods are not the best option for breakfast.

Sentence 3: "However, researchers ... ice cream." It's not really necessary to provide <em>all</em> of those examples, a few are nice, but the number in that sentence make it seem run on and hard to read.

Mrs.Bennet is a character and a static one at that, she goes back and forth between liking Mr. Bingley and being over the moon about the appearance of him which just goes to show how absurd she is about the whole thing. "<span>At our time of life it is not so pleasant, I can tell you, to be making new acquaintances every day; but for your sakes, we would do anything." I would think this part of the passage suits the issue quite nicely as she gushes on about how they would do anything to get their daughters married even at their age.</span>
