the mechanics instructions were so convoluted that his apprentice had to ask him multiple times to ____ the directions.
echo
recite

Explanation:

"Echo" just means to repeat sound, "recite" is more about saying from memory. "Clarify" means to make something clear or understandable. Since the apprentice wants more understandable instructions, "clarify" is the best - fit word.

Answer:

clarify
