Adam wrote a paper on hurricanes for school. He located the following quote while looking up research articles: (Illuminate) "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." Adam noticed that this quote is too long to use in his paper, and only wanted to use part of it. Which of these options is a way that Adam could shorten the quote so he could use it in his paper while still keeping the important information?

To effectively shorten the quote while retaining the important information, Adam could use the following option:
"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 preserves the key points about the naming of hurricanes and the reason for it, while eliminating unnecessary details.
