Answer 1

Answer:

C. The revision is more concise and logical than the draft, conveying the message more quickly and clearly.

Explanation:

The revision of the draft from the Declaration of Independence is more concise and logical than the draft, conveying the message more quickly and clearly.

When a sentence is concise, it says a lot in only a few words. We can see that the passage from the draft is just one very long sentence. When we try to read it, we find it difficult to follow what is being said because of its length. The revision is actually a shortened version of the draft; it consists of one sentence from the beginning of the draft and one from the ending. As these two sentences are shorter, we don't have any trouble figuring out what the author is saying.

This is why option C is the correct one.
