"Hurricanes are given common names like Ralph, Judy, Katrina, Ivan, George, Tyler, and Andrew because there can often be more than one active hurricane at a time. Naming them helps meteorologists keep them separate when reporting on them."

Hurricanes...often...more than one...at a time. Naming them helps meteorologists keep them separate when reporting on them.

The best option for shortening the quote while maintaining its essential meaning is:
Hurricanes are given common names...because there can often be more than one active hurricane at a time. Naming them helps meteorologists...when reporting on them.
This option provides a concise version of the original quote, capturing the key points about naming hurricanes and its purpose for meteorologists. The ellipses indicate omitted text clearly, which is appropriate in academic writing.
