Which section of the following passage needs to be edited for incorrect spelling, incorrect grammar, inappropriate word choice or wordiness?

I’m traveling to London
by means of an airplane
because it is both faster and
cheaper than driving.

Explanation

Answer: B - Corrected version: by airplane

In the interest of conciseness, by means of an airplane should be changed to by airplane. “By means of” can be replaced with “by” in almost all instances. These space filling phrases should be consistently edited out to give writing a strong, professional tone.
