medium · Enhanced ACT english
A sentence reads: 'The software update, [which was released to the public last Tuesday], fixed several critical security vulnerabilities.'
If the writer wanted to focus solely on the 'impact' of the update, should the bracketed portion be deleted?
- No, because the sentence would be grammatically incomplete without a relative clause identifying the update.
- Yes, because the release date is a secondary detail that does not contribute to the focus on security impact.
- Yes, because the phrasing 'released to the public' is wordy and could be shortened to 'published'.
- No, because the specific date provides necessary context for users to determine if they have the latest version.
