Which strategy is the best way to improve clarity in a wordy sentence? a)use fewer powerful words. b)avoid using adverbs. c)eliminate redundancies. d)use more modifiers.

The correct answer is C. eliminate redundancies.

A wordy sentence contains a lot of words and is very long. If you want to shorten that sentence, you will have to read it carefully and look for words that are repeated, or have similar/same meanings, or are just unnecessary because they don't contribute to the sentence. When you eliminate those redundancies, you will fix your lengthy sentences.
