Question

SOME PLZZZ HELP URGENT :( What is the best way to edit this sentence? In the early part of the month of April, we traveled in our own car to the city of New Orleans in the state of Louisiana. A. We drove to New Orleans in early April. B. In the early part of April, we drove to New Orleans in Louisiana. C. In the early part of April, we traveled by car to the city of New Orleans. D. We traveled in our own car to the city of New Orleans, Louisiana, in early April.

Answer 1

Answer:

A. We drove to New Orleans in early April.

Explanation:

Because New Orleans is such a big city, it isn't necessary to say it is in Louisiana since that will make the sentence more complicated/long.

It is also better to say "early April" rather than longer and more repetitive phrases like "the early part of April."

Lastly, it is best to say "we drove" instead of saying "we traveled in our own car" because they mean the same thing, but "we drove" flows better and is shorter.

So, A is correct because it has the best flow with the most simple phrases.

Answer 2

Answer:

A. We drove to New Orleans in early April.

Explanation:

The context of "in our own car" and "in the state of Louisiana" isn't necessary for the readers. It just becomes excessive words that hinder the reader from a smooth read.
