Which of the following best contributes to clear writing?
sergiy2304 [10]

On the other hand, if one's vocabulary is too complex, the reader may get confused. Similarly, redundant word choice makes for wordy, complicated writing, which may also confuse the reader. Finally, complex sentence structure can also confuse the reader. Active sentence construction is important for clarity.</span>
