Answer:

Very long

Explanation:

The clue that suggests what "abridge" means is "very long." In this passage, we learn that a manuscript was too long, and that it was abridged. If we look at a dictionary, we will learn that "to abridge" means to make something shorter. However, we can also guess this from context by looking at the rest of the passage.

Paladinen [302]
It would help if you gave us the sentence to figure out the question.

The repetition of "you" in any sentence would imply that the speaker is talking to a group of people or one person in particular as in yourself.

Answer:

1. I have got a bit of a problem here= Making a complaint

2. I am afraid, I have to make a complaint= Making a complaint

3. Oh dear, I am sorry about that= Accepting a complaint

4. I'm afraid there's nothing we can do about it actually= Rejecting a complaint

5. I just don't know how to say it but,...= Rejecting a complaint

6. Look, I'm not really satisfied with the way you =Making a complaint

7. I'm afraid I can't any help= Rejecting a complaint

8. I'm so sorry about that. I promise that it won't happen again= Accepting a complaint

9. Well, I'm afraid there's nothing we can do about it.= Rejecting a complaint

10. I'm afraid there isn't much we can do about it= Rejecting a complaint

Explanation:

In the sentences above, a person making a complaint states his dissatisfaction with a particular person or thing. For example in the first sentence, the speaker clearly states that he has "a bit of problem".

When accepting a complaint, the person being complained to acknowledges the problem in question. For example, in the third sentence, the speaker apologizes for the problem, thus showing his interest in doing something about it.

When rejecting a complaint, there is an outright disproval. Sometimes, the speaker begins with an apology to douse the emotions of the tensioned recipient of the rejection.
