Question

read the following sentence:
people who have never voted in an election don’t understand what a good feeling can occur when you cast your ballot.
which revision is the most concise way to write this sentence without losing important information?
voters know that casting a ballot in an election can really make you feel good.
voters understand how satisfying casting a ballot can be.
people who do not vote in elections don’t understand how good voting feels.
people who have never voted don’t know how satisfied voting can make you feel.

Explanation:

1. Analyze the original sentence: It states that people who never voted don't understand the good feeling of casting a ballot.
2. Evaluate Option 1: Talks about voters knowing the good feeling, but original is about non - voters not knowing, so incorrect.
3. Evaluate Option 2: Talks about voters understanding, which is opposite of original (original is about non - voters not understanding), incorrect.
4. Evaluate Option 3: "People who do not vote in elections don't understand how good voting feels." This rephrases the original sentence concisely, keeping the key information (non - voters don't understand the good feeling of voting).
5. Evaluate Option 4: The phrase "have never voted" is a bit more wordy than "do not vote" in Option 3, and "satisfied" is a bit different from "good feeling" in tone, and Option 3 is more concise while retaining the core meaning.

Answer:

C. People who do not vote in elections don't understand how good voting feels. (Note: Assuming the options are labeled A, B, C, D with the third option being C. If the original labeling is different, adjust accordingly. The content of the option is "People who do not vote in elections don't understand how good voting feels.")
