understanding for the people who have no knowledge regarding the insurance terms and their
applications.

is written in an essay format while the second version is written in a report version that is better
understandable and easily comprehensible.

the people of Florida understand of the compensation situation is that without the knowledge,
they may face a major monetary loss after a natural disaster which is not at all apprehensible by

alignments that are both useful for the writer to express their thoughts through the sentences and
also for the readers who have a better overview of the whole situation and how to get over the
situation with minimal efforts and related knowledge. The knowledge related to deductibles are
also mentioned in the second article with more clarity making the second version better than the
