A communications manager receives a draft press statement from Claude. The facts and structure are right, but it is too long and the key announcement is in the third paragraph. What is the most effective follow-up?

Answer: B — "Keep the facts and quote. Put the announcement first and cut to about 200 words."

The draft is close, so the task is targeted iteration: say what to keep, what to change and how. Option (b) does all three. (a) gives no direction and invites Claude to discard the parts that work. (c) produces variations rather than the specific fixes needed. (d) is vague and doesn't name either actual problem (length and placement).
