Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A long, rambling sentence hinders ____
A
readability
B
commissions
C
rephrasing
D
use of proper modifiers
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A rambling sentence may appear to follow the technical rules of grammar in places, but the sentence just sounds wrong because the thought rambles from one topic to another.

Detailed explanation-2: -Studies from the American Press Institute have shown that when the average sentence length is 14 words, readers understand more than 90% of what they are reading. At 43 words, comprehension drops to less than 10%. Long, complicated sentences force users to slow down and work harder to understand what they are reading.

Detailed explanation-3: -A sentence is too long if, upon reaching the end, your reader cannot remember how the sentence began. Writers are often advised to make sure that each sentence conveys only one idea; however, it can be difficult to decide what delimits “one idea, ” especially when reporting results.

Detailed explanation-4: -Long sentences are evil for the following reasons: No one really wants to read long sentences in technical prose–they are visually intimidating. Long sentences are harder to understand than short ones. Long sentences often obscure the writer’s intent (though the obfuscation is sometimes intentional).
