The best way to eliminate wordiness is the following:
<em> The audience gave the guest speaker a standing ovation.</em>
Wordiness is the use of more words than necessary to express an idea. The phrase <em>"to give a standing ovation"</em> already comprises the ideas of "rose up" and <em>"applauded"</em>. Thus, they are not necessary in the sentence. Replacing those words with the words <em>"gave the guest speaker a standing ovation"</em> is the right way to eliminate wordiness in that sentence.
The author's strongest support for their statement is the reference to a major claim (Option B). In it, the author alludes to the strongest and clearest declaration that agrees with their statement by quoting the authors of Suburban Nation. This is not an allusion because of the direct nature of this reference (allusion = indirect reference). There is no repetition observed in this paragraph, and the author doesn't comment on what the opposing party believes. Therefore, by logic and by elimination, we can conclude that this is an example of a reference to a major claim.
Here's some tips about formal language:
1. Usually, it's best to replace abbreviations with their original word. For example, if you wanted to say "it's", you'd say "it is".
2. Use vocabulary words that are more descriptive. This doesn't nessesarily mean more complicated words. For example, if you were to say "Jellyfish can live without causing harm to people", instead of "live", you could say "thrive".
3. This is just a Grammar mistake - "jellyfishes" isn't a word, but "jellyfish" is (just like "fishes" isn't a word).
