Practical examples
The original statement says that most participants who responded preferred the shorter format.
تقول العبارة الأصلية إن معظم المشاركين الذين استجابوا فضلوا الصيغة الأقصر.
A summary stating that participants preferred it would lose both the majority qualification and the response condition.
سيفقد ملخص يقول إن المشاركين فضلوها قيد الأغلبية وشرط الاستجابة معًا.
"Among respondents, the shorter format was the more common preference" preserves those distinctions.
تحافظ عبارة «كانت الصيغة الأقصر التفضيل الأكثر شيوعًا بين المستجيبين» على هذين التمييزين.
