Which sentence uses the most precise language? When the engine seized and began to smoke, I realized I had ignored the oil gauge warning signal too long. When the engine stopped working and started smoking, I knew I had ignored the warning light too long. When the engine stopped working and began to smoke, I realized I had forgotten about the oil gauge warning too long. When the engine seized and started smoking, I knew I had ignored the warning signal too long.

Hai!! @Lena772 I can help guide you to your answer, but may I ask you which one you believe to be correct? Also, while choosing, keep in mind that the term "precise language" means the sentence that includes the most amount of precise detail. (:

OpenStudy (lena772):

A..

OpenStudy (lena772):

It could be C though.

OpenStudy (lena772):

But I think A.

whitemonsterbunny17 (whitemonsterbunny17):

I believe \(\normalsize\bf\color{lime}A\) to be correct, as well. A is more precise than C when it comes to the first part of the sentence. For example, choice A uses the word "seized", while C uses "stopped working". The word "seized" is more precise. (:
