Question

Read the passage.

Contemporary historian Ian Mortimer showcases his historical expertise in the nonfiction book The Time Traveler’s Guide to Elizabethan England. Other people have created monotonous historical essays, but Mortimer has written an amusing and engrossing book.

Which is the best phrase to eliminate because it is neither precise nor domain specific?

“contemporary historian”
“historical expertise”
“other people have created”
“monotonous historical essays”

Answer 1

“other people have created”

Reason: it's vague and non-specific (who are these "other people"?) and adds little useful information.
