Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 12.80 Precision and Concision skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

From a media studies essay: "The hashtag’s popularity is not evidence of persuasion; rather, it may reflect coordinated amplification."

Which revision is most concise while keeping the contrast and the hedge? Options:

AThe hashtag’s popularity is not evidence of persuasion; rather, it may reflect coordinated amplification.

BThe hashtag’s popularity may reflect coordinated amplification rather than persuasion.

CThe hashtag’s popularity reflects coordinated amplification, not persuasion.

DThe hashtag persuades people, which is why it is popular.

Solution & Explanation:The correct revision preserves both the hedge (“may”) and the contrast (“rather than”). Another option removes the hedge; another changes meaning.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

From a theory chapter: "This framework is useful insofar as it accounts for variation, but it is limited insofar as it treats culture as static."

Which revision is most concise while preserving both the strength and the limitation? Options:

AThe framework explains variation because culture is static.

BThe framework explains variation but is limited by treating culture as static.

CThis framework is useful insofar as it accounts for variation, but it is limited insofar as it treats culture as static.

DThe framework is useful and limited because culture varies statically.

Solution & Explanation:The correct option keeps the balanced evaluation (useful + limited) and uses direct verbs; the others are wordy or incoherent.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

From a biology paper: "The enzyme exhibited higher activity at pH 6.5, as compared with its activity at pH 7.4."

Which revision is most concise while keeping the comparison explicit? Options:

AThe enzyme was more active at pH 6.5 than at pH 7.4.

BThe enzyme exhibited higher activity at pH 6.5, as compared with its activity at pH 7.4.

CAt pH 6.5, the enzyme exhibited higher activity.

DThe enzyme was active at pH 6.5.

Solution & Explanation:The correct answer preserves both pH values and the comparative relationship; one distractor drops the comparison.
