Discussion 2: Smart Sentencing
Give a before/after example from your research paper (a few sentences to a short paragraph) where you apply some of the suggestions from chapter 5, such as replacing "be" verbs with more vivid ones, rewriting passive constructions, reducing distance between subjects and verbs, or getting rid of unnecessary adjectives and adverbs. Does it improve your work in any way? Why or why not?
Please reply to at least one one classmate.
