Answer: A. Because governments can only lock a person up physically, not mentally

In section three of "Civil Disobedience," Henry David Thoreau describes his own experience defying the law. He argues that even though he was imprisoned in body, the government could not imprison him mentally or defeat his spirit. He says that in fact, he was more free than most citizens, because he was free in his mind:

<em>"I saw that, if there was a wall of stone between me and my townsmen, there was a still more difficult one to break through, before they could get to be as free as I was."</em>

For the purpose of remembering to utilize it in his cross-examination, the prosecuting attorney made a note in reference to the
k0ka [10]

A) The prosecuting attorney made a note about the defendant's anger when speaking about the victim, so he could utilize it in his cross-examination.

This is best revises the original sentence for wordiness. The words eliminated are "For the purpose of remembering to". Taking out these prepositional phrases focuses the dependent clause on the verb utilize rather than the actions of remembering and purpose. This helps to eliminate confusion or distractions for the reader. One way to help eliminate answers is that option D does not really make any changes. Option B and C are the same except for the placement of the dependent clause. Moving the dependent clause does not actually change the wordiness of the sentence.
