The correct answer is **D) A and B**.
Expanding, combining, and reducing sentences are important for enhancing meaning (A) by clarifying ideas and improving the overall coherence of the essay. Additionally, these techniques help maintain reader/listener interest (B) by creating a varied and engaging writing style that keeps the reader alert and invested in the content. Option C, while potentially true in a very limited context, overlooks the primary purposes of sentence manipulation in effective writing.
