About this quiz
“Bad writing” here means prose that wastes the reader: empty intensifiers, clichés, mixed images, fake formality, and openings that delay the point. Taste still varies; these items are the uncontroversial misses.
A high score means you can name the problem. Applying it to your own work is harder. Print the review and mark one live paragraph.
