Answer:

C. Most of the sentences have a similar structure.

Explanation:

In "The Crisis, Number XIII", Thomas Paine states the glory and revolution which America gained by winning the war. The independence was rewarded to America by the British. The introductory lines contain peace and happy atmosphere which America has gained. At the same time, he warns the people that the future of their life depends on the sovereignty of the United States. He states his views regarding the rights which the states possess and how that can prove to be a problem for the people in the future.

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.
