Question

what would be a clearer way of writing the sentence below?
for the students new project, the students will write a report about a book, and they will read the report to the other students in the class; also, the reports must be completed so that they can be read to the class on december 18.
a. on december 18, the students in the class will read stuff to each other because that is the day their project is due.
b. students must read a book and then write a report over the book they read, and they must read the report they wrote to the class.
c. for their new project, the students will write a book report and read it to the class on december 18.
d. the students have a new project, and they will have to write a book report and read it to the class.

Explanation:

The original sentence includes redundant references to "students" and "the report", and specifies the due date of December 18 for presenting the report. Option A is vague ("read stuff") and misrepresents the project. Option B omits the critical due date. Option D also fails to include the required date. Option C condenses the redundant language, clearly states the project tasks, and retains the key deadline.

Answer:

C. For their new project, the students will write a book report and read it to the class on December 18.
