Explain how you revised the sentence to be more concise.
Revised sentence: “I was so sleepy at my desk yesterday that I yawned repeatedly, so I decided to drink coffee to avoid napping right there.”
Explanation: I made the sentence more concise by eliminating repetitive phrases like “yawning and yawning” and “or else I might.” I combined similar ideas and used “to avoid” instead of “or else I might fall asleep and nap,” removing unnecessary words while maintaining the original meaning. This keeps the focus on the main idea while making it easier to read.
