Question

read the sentence.
the fake, counterfeit money, which isnt valid, was discovered in the crime investigation.
what is the best way to revise this sentence to eliminate wordiness?
the money is not valid because it was counterfeit and discovered in the crime investigation.
the counterfeit money was discovered in the crime investigation.
discovered in the crime investigation, the counterfeit money was fake.
the sentence is correct as written.

Explanation:

The original sentence has redundant terms: "fake" and "counterfeit" mean the same thing, and "which isn't valid" is already implied by "counterfeit". The best revision removes all redundant wording while keeping the core meaning (counterfeit money was found in a crime investigation).

Answer:

The counterfeit money was discovered in the crime investigation.
