Which practical technique is recommended for improving conciseness by removing words that add length without adding meaning?

Why: Cutting filler words and unnecessary hedges directly removes length that adds no meaningful content to the message. Why the Other Options Are Excluded: •  Adding more qualifiers increases length without necessarily adding meaning, working against conciseness. •  Including every possible caveat regardless of relevance adds unnecessary length, the opposite of this technique. •  Substituting longer synonyms adds length and complexity rather than removing words that add no meaning. •  Repetition adds length rather than removing unnecessary words. Industry Example: Rewriting "I just wanted to sort of check if maybe you had a chance to look at this" as "have you had a chance to look at this?" applies the filler-cutting technique.
