Interesting Homework Question

So I was working on my Business and Technical Communications 101 homework and I read this question...

2. Revising for Clarity

Business writers appreciate messages that are clear and understandable. Proofreading and evaluating your work will help you compose messages that are clear, concise, and direct. Revise for clarity by eliminating trite phrases, avoiding jargon and slang, and dropping cliché́s.

What can you do to express, not impress?

1. Make it long and complex.

2. Trust your writing skills to hide your lack of knowledge.

3. Keep it short and simple.   I'm thinking answer 2 is it!! :P haha! "To hide your lack of knowledge," wow that's nice!! At least they didn't use the word stupidity!
