Revising for Conciseness - Rejecting Redundancies and PurgingEmpty Words

Answer: A. 1) Adequate enough

2) Combined together

3) Big in size

4) Absolutely essential

b. 3) “That was unfinished”

Explanation:

A. Redundancies in phrases refer to the repetition of words with the same or similar meanings which gives off the impression of saying the same things twice. All the options listed are therefore redundancies.

By saying something is Adequate which means that it is sufficient for something one does not again need to include enough because it is the same as sufficient as well.

By also saying Combined, one has already inferred that something was brought together. Including together again is redundant because the together is already in the definition of combined.

Big in size is another redundancy because when a person describes something as Big, they are already referring to the size of the thing in question. Adding in size is therefore not needed.

Finally, the Absolutely in the phrase makes the phrase redundant. When something is said to be essential it means that it is absolutely needed or crucial. To say something is Absolutely Essentially is like saying something is an Essential Essential.

B. The Johnson report had already been said to contain incomplete data. To go on to say that the data is Unfinished is a redundancy because by saying that it is incomplete it means that the data is by definition Unfinished. Removing the “That was unfinished” bit fixes the sentence.

Joan, is a jewelry designer who had created a unique new jewelry piece called a neacklet. It can be either a necklace or a brace

patriot [66]

Answer and explanation:

In Joan's case, a general partnership will provide her control over her business that will be shared with the older gentleman who owns a jewelry store. Profits would be distributed evenly regardless of the contribution of each partner in the business. However, the older gentleman has offered Joan the chance of purchasing his share later on which would provide her the total control of the business and the patent of her creation.

The other option Joan has available is purchasing a franchise. This will allow Joan to avoid the initial costs of introducing her products to the market and the risks of not having enough consumers since her brand name is new. Though she will lose access to the patent of her creation and periodically Joan will need to pay NewJewelry a fee for using its name.

Therefore, as Joan prefers to have control over her designs, it would be more convenient for her to choose the general partnership.

babunello [35]

Based on the information that have been provided in the question, the planning budget for the utilities in June will be calculated as:
