Read this excerpt from a style guide. Some writers weigh down their sentences with words and phrases that are about the writer's or reader's process of observing or expressing, rather than about the topic. Instead of “The experimenter observed that the litmus paper changed color,” it is usually better to write simply, “The litmus paper changed color,” unless the extra words add significant meaning—for example, if you want to emphasize the role of the observer rather than the color change. Read this sentence about “Effects of the Sun’s Rays on Clothes of Different Colours.” It is worth noting that black cloth absorbs more light than white cloth. Which version of the sentence follows the principle in the style guide correctly? A. Black cloth absorbs more light than white cloth.
B. At this point, the reader should understand that black cloth absorbs more light than white cloth.
C. Note that black cloth absorbs more light than white cloth.
D. What we are attempting to show is that black cloth absorbs more light than white cloth.

The greatest gift the sumerians gave the world was the invention of writing. the sumerians were wealthy people. they needed some way to keep track of what they owned. they began drawing pictures. they used a reed as a pen. they drew on soft pieces of clay. the soft clay was then dried in the sun. the tablet became a permanent record. later, the sumerian drawings changed into wedge-shaped symbols. this kind of writing is called cuneiform. by putting symbols together, the sumerians could write entire sentences.
