Answer 1

This question is missing the original sentence. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

The planet Jupiter, named for the king of the Roman gods, has rings composed of dust particles ejected during impact with incoming comets and asteroids.

Which words should be changed to make the sentence more appropriate for a general audience?

A) Jupiter and Roman

B) rings and dust

C) composed and ejected

D) named and during

Answer:

The words that should be changed to make the sentence more appropriate for a general audience is:

C) composed and ejected

Explanation:

When writing for general audiences, we should choose words that are conversational. That means adapting our writing to make sure people in general can understand the message, instead of focusing on a group of people with specific vocabulary.

In the sentence we are analyzing here, two words that are less conversational and, therefore, a bit more uncommon are "composed" and "ejected". To make sure everyone could understand the message, we could change them by replacing with more common synonyms, such as "formed" and "released", respectively.
