When No Change Is Best

The idea
Sometimes the original wording is already the best choice, and keeping it is the right revision.
In practice
If the original is correct, clear and fits the context, every alternative can only change its meaning or add words.
Where people slip
Do not assume a sentence must be wrong because a question asks about it; test it like any other option.
Your place on the trail
Every lesson rests on earlier ones and opens later ones. Tap any to jump.
