Answer 1

Hi lovely,

The answer you're looking for would be B.

The rest of the answers have words that are unnecessary which would be wordiness.

Answer 2

The correct answer is B. Pamela can leave as soon as she finishes her homework.

Explanation:

In writing, wordiness means you are repetitive or use more words that you actually should. Wordiness should be avoided because excess in words or repetition can make your message unclear; also, in communication, it is better to be precise and concise. According to this, it is the sentence "Pamela can leave as soon as she finishes her homework" the one that expresses an idea without wordiness because in this there is no repetition of similar words or excess in the words included but the message is concise, precise and clear.
