I can rewrite your question, but I need the original question first. Please paste it below. In the meantime, here is a clear step-by-step method I use and some example rewrites and templates you can use for a test.
- Step-by-step method to simplify a question
- Identify the main learning goal (what the student must show they know).
- Remove unnecessary technical words or long clauses.
- Use short sentences and common words a 15-year-old knows.
- Give context or a short example if the topic is abstract.
- Decide the test format: multiple choice, short answer, or problem, and show how many points/time.
- Templates you can use
- Multiple choice (simple): "Which of the following best explains / completes / shows ...?" followed by 3–4 options and one correct answer.
- Short answer: "In 1–2 sentences, explain/describe/define ..." and give a word limit or points.
- Problem (math/science): Give clear data, one final question, and show required steps if needed: "Show your work."
- Example: make a complex question simple
Original (complex): "Explain how the process of cellular respiration in eukaryotic cells converts biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), describing glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation."
Simple (short answer, for a test): "In 2–3 sentences, say how cells get energy from food and make ATP. Mention the main stages: glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation."
Simple (multiple choice): "Which sequence shows the main stages a cell uses to get energy from glucose? A) Glycolysis → Citric acid cycle → Oxidative phosphorylation B) Oxidative phosphorylation → Glycolysis → Citric acid cycle C) Citric acid cycle → Glycolysis → Photosynthesis" (Correct: A)
- Another example (history)
Original (complex): "Discuss the various economic and political factors that led to the outbreak of World War I, and explain which factor you think was most important."
Simple (exam prompt): "List two economic and two political causes of World War I. Then write one paragraph saying which cause you think mattered most and why."
Paste your original question, and I will rewrite it into a simple, test-ready form (I can give multiple-choice, short answer, and a rubric or model answer if you want).
