writingWhich choice results in the least ambiguous sentence?
A
the latter
B
it
C
the notes
D
one
Correct Answer: C
Choice C is the best answer. "The notes" specifies what was organized, distinguishing it from the water.
Choice A is incorrect because "the latter" is less direct than the noun. Choice B is incorrect because "it" is singular and vague. Choice D is incorrect because "one" is vague.
