Question

question 1 of 15
which sentence is the most concise?
a. sailing and travelling by sail are ruperts goals.
b. world war ii started in september of 1939.
c. joy, happiness, and gladness are our goals here.
d. the city of santiago is in the country of chile.

Explanation:

A concise sentence avoids redundant phrasing. Option A repeats the same idea ("Sailing" and "travelling by sail"). Option C uses three near-synonyms ("joy, happiness, gladness") which are redundant. Option D unnecessarily specifies "the city of" and "the country of" when "Santiago is in Chile" is sufficient. Option B has no redundant language and clearly states a fact concisely.

Answer:

B. World War II started in September of 1939.
