Rewrite the following sentence to eliminate cliches, jargon, and redundant language.

Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

1. It would appear that a large number of houses were damaged after the flood.

2. In my opinion, we have to deal with the problem right now and get the most of it while we have a chance.

3. If we fail to act, the fact is that the riverbanks will continue to keep eroding unless we do something.

Explanation:

To rewrite these sentences we need to know what are the definitions of cliche, jargon, and redundant language.

Cliche is an expression that has been so overused that it has become boring and unoriginal.

Jargon is a literary term of special words and phrases that are used by a particular group of people, especially in their work.

Redundant language is the repetition of the same idea or item of information within a phrase, clause, or sentence (tautology).

1. it would appear that a large number of houses were damaged subsequent to the flood.

Jargon - subsequent to. Instead, we can use the word after.

It's better to write:

It would appear that a large number of houses were damaged after the flood.

2. i think that in my opinion we have a chance to really take the bull by the horns and make hay while the sun shines.

I think that in my opinion - redundant language.

Cliche - to really take the bull by the horns, and make hay while the sun shines.

Also, the word really is redundant here.

It's better to write:

In my opinion, we have to deal with the problem now and get the most of it while we have a chance.

3. if we fail to act, the true fact is that the riverbanks will continue to keep eroding unless we do something.

Redundant language - the true fact. True fact creates a tautology.

It's better to write:

If we fail to act, the fact is that the riverbanks will continue to keep eroding unless we do something.

Mazyrski [523]

I like a Tv Show called survivor. This is a reality show. 20 people are sent off to a random island where they must survive for 40 days. They play different games and challenges to win rewards and advantages. In the end of every episode the players all must write a different player’s name on a piece of paper. whoever’s name is written down most must leave because they lost. I like how the people have to live for 40 days without technology or phones. Sometimes the get hurt and sometimes they must eat disgusting things. It can get very dramatic at times when the players start arguing.

Hope this helps

If so Please mark as brainliest

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

The visitor sign-in sheet is used to keep record of who has entered and left the premises. During fire evacuation, it is important for company's Fire Warden to have the visitor sign-in sheet.

The vistor sign-in sheet will help the Fire Warden to tally if all people have been evacuated from the premises. After assembling at the meeting point, the Fire Wardens account for evacuated visitors from the sign-in sheet to know that everyone has been safely evacuated from the premises and no one is left behind in the premises.

Therefore, option B is correct.
