I'm quite confused with this question. Can someone help? :)

Compare the bold sections of both sentences and then answer the question that follows: Original: My father disliked sleet, but my father disliked hail more. Revised: My father disliked sleet, but he hated hail more. What was done to the bolded section to improve the sentence? A longer phrase was converted to a single word. A modifier that did not add meaning was removed. Redundant phrases were eliminated. Repetitive words were replaced with synonyms and pronouns.

The bold is "But my father disliked hail more" and "But he hated hail more."

Replaced my father with with he and also replaced disliked with hated.
