I have three words of similar meaning in this two sentences: How to make words more efficient?
The professor teased that maybe I would make a good researcher. I took the comment seriously, made it my goal to become an economics professor and have since started to work on becoming an excellent scholar.
The three words are:good researcher, professor and excellent scholar.Could I say " I took the comment seriously, made my goal to become an economics professor and have since started to work on it" instead?
