Students should review their drafts and identify places where the ideas are expressed in an unclear or illogical way. Students should make necessary changes by adding information to clarify meaning, deleting extraneous information that obscures meaning, combining ideas to avoid redundancies, and rearranging the ideas to ensure logical progression.

Why did you chose that answer?
This question is asking you to MOVE words around in a sentence so that the ideas in the sentence are clear.
This question requires you to understand how to construct a strong, clear sentence.
The modifiers - words or phrases that describe another word in the sentence - are placed so that it is clear which word the writer is describing.
Strong sentences are written in the active voice meaning the subject of the sentence performs the verb on the object of the sentence.
First, think about the ideas and modifiers contained in the sentence:
as a video game designer
concept for Pokémon
was developed
by Satoshi Tajiri
during his early years
Which two phrases in this sentence are modifiers?
Which word or phrase does the phrase "during his early years" seem to modify?
What is the verb (action) in this sentence?
What is the subject in this sentence?
Does the subject perform the verb in this sentence?
Use the process of elimination.
If you are stuck, count how many words are in the original sentence and in each of the answer choices. As a general rule, the correct answer choice will have fewer words than the original and most of the other answer choices.
