Correct choices: 1, 2, and 3.

- Avoid too many sentences that are overly short or long — varying sentence length and avoiding extremes improves flow and comprehension.
- Remove information that is unnecessary and excessive — trimming redundancy and off-topic detail makes the main points clearer.
- Make sure that the vocabulary used is appropriate for the audience — choose terms your readers will understand and explain any necessary technical jargon.

Why not the others: incorporating advanced terminology just to show expertise can create unnecessary jargon and reduce readability; adding transitions after every sentence is overkill — use transitions where they genuinely improve flow.
