Explanation:
The question asks us to improve clarity and precision. According to the example and the instructions, we are allowed to come up with more information. Notice how the example transforms "a long way off" into "not take place for two years". That's is where precision lies. "A long way off" is imprecise because it can mean any period of time, according to the context and situation. To improve it, we need to specify how much time we are talking about. For that reason, in the sentence, "Soon we will be in our new location", I've changed "soon" for "in three months":
We will be moving into our new headquarters downtown in three months.
