Read exercise and reference answers
Steps
  1. Spot the word or phrase that feels like a formula
  2. Ask what you actually meant to say
  3. Check whether a single substitution really fixes it
  4. If it does not, recast the sentence completely
  5. Read it back to confirm the meaning survived
Strunk's advice is often to recast rather than to swap. Source: The Elements of Style, Strunk (1918), Words Commonly Misused.
