Sagot :

Answer:

B. Replace repetitive words with pronouns.

Explanation:

When revising repetitive writing, you can replace repetitive words with synonyms, combine sentences with repeated words, and/or delete sentences with similar ideas. You can do this because these help the writing to flow smoother and more efficiently.

On the other hand, replacing repetitive words with pronouns is what you should not do. Read the example that follows:

"I love cats. I love cats so much I want to own a cat one day."

You can see how it is repetitive, right? Now if you replaced the repeating words with pronouns...

"I love cats. I love them so much I want to own them one day."

It does not fix the problem, right?

On the other hand, if you combined the sentences and replace the worlds with synonyms:

"I love cats, so much so that I want to own one someday."

It fixes the issue, correct?

Hope this helps!
