Answer:

To remove the "dead-weight phrase" in the sentence: "It has been found that most people consider buying a house the largest purchase they can ever make," it can be rewritten as follows:

"Most people consider buying a house the largest purchase they can ever make."

Explanation:

A dead-weight phrase is one that is not helpful in a sentence to convey the intended meaning.  This implies that the meaning can still be picked up without the phrase.  For example, the phrase: "it has been found that" is not necessary in the sentence.  The meaning of the sentence is conveniently conveyed with its omission.  The meaning is not lost if the sentence is rewritten as "Most people consider buying a house the largest purchase they can ever make."

Generally, a dead-weight is an unnecessary burden that can be jettisoned to make a load lighter.  Also an unhelpful person can be considered as a dead-weight.

Explanation

Refinishing furniture is a creative hobby, but not everyone loves to scour garage sales to find old items.

Going to flea markets can help you to notice unique qualities in used items; beauty can be found where you least expect it.

Specialized equipment can make the refinishing process easier, therefore, painting the furniture can be creative with the right tools.

Some people like refinishing old furniture, others prefer buying new items.
