The use of short-words with short breath ensures the voice is well-projected throughout.
They however break the flow of the reader. Long-words strain the voice of the writer. A mixture
of the two ensures stable reading.

Exercise 2
Science and Humanities majors are different. Science majors value precision while
humanities majors trust their feelings. For Science majors, every move they make has a purpose
and they rarely act on impulse. Humanities majors make decisions on intuition. They often seem
inconsistent and sometimes they seem downright spacey. Humanities and Science majors can get
along. It’s not because they have a lot in common. It’s more that they fascinate each other as
each wants to see what the other will do next.
The varying of the sentence structure removes monotony in the writer’s voice and keeps
the reader interested as there are varying rhythms.
