“it is said that a long string of small metal circles welded together by a blacksmith is more likely to be pulled apart if one of the small metal circles is not as strong as the rest of the small metal circles.”
“a chain is only as strong as its weakest link.”
why is the shorter version more effective? check all that apply.
1. it makes the idea clearer.
2. it is more concise.
3. it is more easily understood.
4. it creates a stronger image.

The correct answer would be option B and C, It is more concise and It is more easily understood.

Explanation:

In the shorter version, the word 'Chain' replaces the longer sentence, ' long string of small metal circles welded together by a blacksmith', which is more commonly known by people. It makes the sentence shorter and concise and above all, easy to understand.

The sentence means that the chain is as strong as its weakest link, which means if any of the link of the chain is weak, the whole chain is considered weak, as it can break the whole chain.

So the shorter version is clearly easy to understand and is more concise, which gives a short compact and easy understand of what is being said.

2). It is more concise.

3). It is more easily understood.

Explanation:

The shorter version is more impressive and efficacious as it conveys the key idea in a brief, significant, and appealing manner that attracts the readers' attention, interest, and allows them to have a clear and convenient understanding. The longer version becomes a bit monotonous and complicated for the readers that reduce the efficacy of the idea and muddy the writing. While the short and crisp sentences not only help in capturing the attention but also convey the intended message or idea clearly and comprehensively. Thus, options 2 and 3 are the correct answers.

and let him find it. trifles light as air

as proofs of holy writ. this may do something.

dangerous conceits are in their natures poisons

which at the first are scarce found to distaste,

but with a little act upon the blood

burn like the mines of sulfur.

i’ll leave this handkerchief at cassio’s house and let him find it.to a jealous man, a meaningless little thing like this looks like absolute proof. this handkerchief may be useful to me. the moor’s mind has already become infected with my poisonous suggestions. ideas can be like poisons. at first they hardly even taste bad, but once they get into your blood they start burning like hot lava.
