1) The correct answer is: B) Developing
The word <em>develop </em>means to invent something or bring something into existence. <em>Refine</em> refers to the improvement of the idea by making small changes, that means the idea already exists, it is only modified.
2) The correct answer is: A) Refining
The word <em>focus </em>refers to pay attention to something, in this case an idea. From the options given, <em>refine </em>is the best choice as the idea already exists and improvement is needed. To do that, you need to focus on it paying attention to the small details.
3) The correct answer is: B) Well
Remember the difference between <em>good </em>and <em>well </em>is that the first one is and adjetive so it is used to modify nouns, and the second one is an adverd used to modify verbs. Fore example: you can be a <em>good </em>citizen, or you can read a <em>good </em>book. In the other hand: the car ran <em>well </em>or the kid played <em>well</em>.
4) The correct answer is: B) Tastier
Remember that to make comparatives and superlatives an -<em>er </em>or -<em>est </em>is used with most of one syllable adjectives and with certain two syllable ones. In this case <em>more </em>or <em>most </em>is not used because tasty has only two syllables. And you use the -<em>er </em>because you are comparing the meal with others.
Answer:
1. Brian told Joe that he thinks he is a genius.
Explanation:
The revision that would best improve the original sentence is the first one.
In the second sentence, Joe is mentioned twice, which is not necessary and sounds somewhat awkward (despite making it a bit clearer whether Brian thinks that he himself or Joe is a genius).
In the third sentence, Joe is mentioned once, but in the second half of the sentence. That's why we could think that Brian told someone else that Joe is a genius.
The fourth sentence is the second best. The phrase <em>his friend</em>, though, doesn't contribute to the revision in any way, which makes it unnecessary.
That leaves us with the first option is the best one.
