It is appropriate to use the word 'released' twice when combining visual separation with a departure release. Which option best reflects this practice?

• A. Use 'released' twice
• B. Use it once
• C. Avoid using 'released'
• D. Use 'released' three times

Answer: (D)

Repeating a key verb helps keep related actions clearly connected in procedural writing. When you’re describing a scenario that combines visual separation with a departure release, using the same action word for all parts signals that these elements share the same event or sequence. Saying it three times reinforces the parallel structure and leaves no doubt that the release action applies to each component—visual separation, the departure itself, and the overall release process. If you used it fewer times, the link between the elements could seem weaker or misread as separate steps. Avoiding the verb altogether would create ambiguity. So repeating the word three times provides the cleanest, most unambiguous guidance.
