How to approach this kind of question
In a wordiness question, every choice gives the same facts, and only one says them without waste. First list the facts the choices share. Then look for padding: words that say the same thing twice, long phrases that could be one word, and ideas that come back at the end of the sentence. Pick the version that keeps every fact and drops every extra word.
