People want information communicated quickly and clearly. To make your writing more concise and understandable, avoid flabby exp
mash [69]

Answer:

The best revision for the following sentence is:

B) We have identified a problem with our expense sheet, but we will solve it.

Explanation:

In e-mail, letters, messages, memos, and other business documents intended for a busy audience who appreciates getting the information they need quickly and easily, replacing a phrases with a word  in a formal tone, detracting from adding meaning: "we have identified" instead of: "I am sending" or "we need to inform you", keeping the sentence just as it is with certain rhythm and concise.

Otherwise in option 1. I am sending you this letter to inform you that we have experienced an unexpected surprise within our expense sheet, but we are positively certain we will solve it.

The sentence has a redundant pair:  "send" and "inform", it is “wordy,” and includes irrelevant “fillers” as "unexpected" that makes it lack of conciseness in the substantive information, not getting to the point promptly. I also includes passive voice which is not a grammatical error, but it often leads to using more words than necessary frustrating or confusing the audience; and it has prepositional phrases overuse: "that", within", "but" making this sentence clunky and unclear.

In option A) We need to inform you that we have experienced an unexpected surprise with our expense sheet, but we are midway to an end result.

The sentence has unnecessary modifiers: "unexpected" and "end", and passive voice again.

In option C) I am sending you this letter to inform you that we have a problem with our expense sheet, but we are positively certain we have a solution.

The sentence has unnecessary modifier: "positively".

A wealthy customer has been asked by his neighbor to invest in the private placement of a "start-up" technology company as a ven
Ivanshal [37]

Options:

I because these securities are not registered with the SEC, such an offering would be illegal in the United States

II because the securities are not registered with the SEC, they can only be resold in the public markets if the company effects a registered primary distribution and is current in its SEC filings

III public resale of these securities can only occur if the customer holds the securities for 6 months "at risk" and then sells the securities in measured quantities

IV these securities can only be resold by the customer to underwriters that will buy the securities into their inventory and then register them with the SEC

Answer:

II because the securities are not registered with the SEC, they can only be resold in the public markets if the company effects a registered primary distribution and is current in its SEC filings

III public resale of these securities can only occur if the customer holds the securities for 6 months "at risk" and then sells the securities in measured quantities

Explanation:

Option I is wrong because this type of operations is completely legal, and they are called private placements.

Option IV is also wrong because the underwriters do not register the stocks with the SEC, the company must be public in order for it to be registered  and their stocks publicly traded.

Option II is correct because you can privately resell the stocks, but the market is very limited.

Option III is correct because if the company does turn public, then the investor must hold the stocks for 6 months "at risk" (no puts purchased) before being able to sell them on public markets.
