Style Exercise for Feb 4
Posted February 3rd, 2008 by suzanne
Before editing project 1 for style, it's useful to review the eight stylistic principles in the book (p. 218).
The 8 sentences below each violate one principle. See if you can identify the stylistic problem and suggest a better way to phrase the sentence.
1. In my first internship, I accomplished the assembly of multiple circuit boards.
2. To disagree or agree somewhat was the majority of the answers to the questions which seem to be some of the most talked about topics in politics.
3. I also think that most of the ages in our class are older is because they never had the opportunity to start college after high school.
