To determine which change would make the language in the sentence more precise, let's analyze the options provided:
1. Replacing "went" with "dashed": This change would make the language more specific by replacing a general verb with a more specific one. However, "dashed" may not accurately convey the way people moved in and out of stores.
2. Replacing "buzzed" with "moved": This change would make the language more precise by replacing a subjective verb ("buzzed") with a more neutral and factual one ("moved"). It would eliminate any ambiguity or misinterpretation of the activity in the shopping center.
3. Replacing "Saturday morning" with "earlier": This change would alter the sentence by changing the time frame mentioned. While it might provide more specificity in terms of timing, it doesn't necessarily make the language more precise.
4. Replacing "shopping center" with "building": This change would make the language less precise because "shopping center" is a specific type of building, while "building" is a more general term. It would remove a specific and relevant detail from the sentence.
Based on the analysis, the change that would make the language in the sentence more precise is by replacing "buzzed" with "moved".
