    1. The best way to revise the given sentence so that it conveys clear, concise ideas and does not change its meaning = to paraphrase that sentence.

    In the sentence: "She was born in Kansas, but she moved to Chicago, and she studied at Smith Junior College in Chicago", the paraphrase is letter "D", because saying that she was born in Kansas and she was educated in Chicago, indicates that she moved to Chicago.

    2. Letter "D" is correct. The correct spelling is "sister-in-law". The hyphen - is used to join words together to make a new one. For example: co-worker, friendly-looking, ex-mayor.
