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 - <u>subsequent to</u>. Instead, we can use the word <u><em>after</em></u><u>.</u>

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.

<u>I think that in my opinion</u> - redundant language.

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

Also, the word <u>really</u> 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 -  <u>the true fact. </u>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.

Zahra is writing an essay about "The Most Dangerous Game." Which excerpt from the story best supports her idea that Rainsford is
OverLord2011 [107]

The answer is "A certain cool-headedness had come to him; it was not the first time he had been in a tight place."

Explanation:

The purpose of writing an essay is to prove a certain point of view; moreover, to achieve this, it is necessary to add evidence that explains or prove the point of view. This means if the focus of Zara is to show Rainsford (the main character) is a rational individual and does not panic, the best is to include a section that shows this behavior. According to this, the most appropriate excerpt is "A  certain cool-headedness had come to him; it was not the first time he had been in a tight place" because, in this, Rainsford shows a calm and logical behavior, even though at this point he had fallen of a yacht and it is indanger, which shows his ability to avoid panic during pressure or difficult situations

Can our online personas live on beyond our deaths? Why or why not?
Anna35 [415]
No- an online persona isn't much of a persona to begin with.
Many people put a facade over their true identity when online (or on social media) for any number of reasons. They try to create a virtual life of upbeat social interactions, appearing happy and seeming to live a great life. A person's true personality needs to be revealed through real life experiences with others. 
After someone dies, nobody thinks about their facebook followers, quirky posts/comments online, or how many blogs they wrote; their smile, unique personality, and what they accomplished will live on in people's minds.
