  • Word Choice: Refining word choice to improve clarity, tone, and impact. This includes removing repetitive words, choosing more precise or vivid terms, and ensuring consistent terminology.
  • Clarity and Conciseness: Eliminating unnecessary words or phrases, reducing wordiness, and making the text more concise and to the point.
