The death penalty, though legal in 32 states, is a cruel form of punishment and should be abolished because it doesn't do anything to deter criminals who are already going to commit a crime anyway and it is too expensive, costing almost three times as much as sentences someone to life in prison. what is the best way to revise this confusing sentence so that it is easier for the reader to understand? a. add additional facts to the sentence. b. fix the spelling and grammar mistakes. c. break it into smaller, simpler sentences. d. focus on a topic that is more relatable.

the actual answer is C

C.Break it into smaller, simpler sentences.

By breaking into smaller, simpler sentences the ideas will be clearer. This sentence has too much going on. It takes a stance on the death penalty, gives two reasons for the position, as well as includes a piece of data. This is too much for just one sentence. Some of the grammatical errors will be fixed when the sentence is broken into smaller sentences. This eliminates option B as a possibility. Option A would only make the sentence even more complicated. Option D would defeat the entire purpose by changing to a different subject.
