improve the sentences by tightening them -- eliminating redundancies, correcting poor sentence structures, etc

Question

can anyone try to improve the sentences by tightening them -- eliminating redundancies, correcting poor sentence structures, etc. -- without changing the meaning:

1) The report was a rehash and added nothing new to the explanation of why the girl had either taken her own life, been an accident victim or Sam had murdered her.

2) Flying in low under the clouds, the buildings looked almost squat.

3) The reason I said that is because she never even bothered once to see if her sister could be given assistance by something she could have done.

4) The fact is that I myself said that she was too absorbed in her own life to bother with the thing that was a problem for her sister.

please number your answers , thanks :)

Answer 3

1) The report was a rehash and added nothing new to the explanation of why the girl had either taken her own life, been an accident victim or Sam had murdered her.

The rehashed report did not clarify if the girl had committed suicide, had been an accident victim, or had been Sam's murder victim.

2) Flying in low under the clouds, the buildings looked almost squat.

(hehe . . .squat flying buildings). The buildings appeared squat from the vantage of a descending airplane.

3) The reason I said that is because she never even bothered once to see if her sister could be given assistance by something she could have done.

She never tried to help her sister once; I had to say something.

4) The fact is that I myself said that she was too absorbed in her own life to bother with the thing that was a problem for her sister.

I said she was too self-absorbed to help her sister.

There you go.

1. The report was useless; It brought us no closer to understanding how the girl had died.

2. From under the clouds, the buildings looked stumpy.

3. I said that because she never offered to help her sister.

4. I said she was too egocentric to care for her sister's dilemma.

Answer 6

Journalism degree and raised by using a father with a English degree. i like the strategies, and might would desire to assert A & B; perhaps C in case you're formidable, and play the interest of semantics to the fullest like our US politicians
