After the conclusion of Great Britain’s partition of India and Pakistan, the state of Jammu and Kashmir did not decide what nation to join.
  1. After the conclusion of Great Britain’s partition
  2. The conclusion of Great Britain’s partition
  3. After Great Britain’s partition
  4. Because of Great Britain’s partition
Explanation
Answer: C - The best choice is “After Great Britain’s partition”

Wordiness can affect sentence clarity and cause confusion. Removing “after” or using “because” modifies what the sentence conveys. Setting aside “the conclusion of” does not change the sentence’s meaning.
