Answer :

To revise the sentence to eliminate wordiness and redundancy, you should aim to convey the same meaning more concisely. Let's analyze the options provided: A. I enjoy walking at a quick pace at night. - This option removes the redundancy of "power walking" and simplifies the sentence. B. I enjoy walking at a quick pace when it's twilight and the sky is dark. - This option removes the redundancy of "power walking" and simplifies the sentence while retaining the context of twilight and dark skies. C. I enjoy power walking at twilight. - This option retains the specificity of "twilight" while eliminating the redundant phrase "at a quick pace" and simplifying the sentence. D. I enjoy power walking when the sky is dark. - This option simplifies the sentence by removing the redundant phrase "at night" and retains the context of dark skies. In this case, options A, B, C, and D all successfully eliminate wordiness and redundancy from the original sentence. However, the best choice may depend on the specific emphasis or context you wish to maintain.
