Answer 1

Choose: Add a list of materials; State the goal of the game; Make the steps more concise.

Why:
- Materials: The instructions don’t list what players need (board, dice, game pieces, score sheet), so adding materials would help.
- Goal: The objective (how to win or what counts as a successful outcome) isn’t stated.
- Conciseness: Some lines are redundant or could be tightened for clarity.

Don’t select:
- Order the steps sequentially — the steps are already in a logical sequence.
- Correct the spelling and punctuation — there are no spelling errors and punctuation is acceptable (only a minor quote-style detail), so this isn’t necessary.
