Explanation:

This exercise consists of correcting some parts of a text, replacing some expressions, in the context of a communication in the workplace, to make it more formal.

1. Elaine Lee's decided to accept the job.

Eliminate the contraction in Lee's and show the complete form: has decided

The corrected sentence would be:

Elaine Lee has decided to accept the job.

2. FYI all team members are expected to attend the meeting.

Replace the informal FYI with the complete expression, "For your information", and add a comma.

The corrected sentence would be:

For your information, all team members are expected to attend the meeting.

3. I would like everyone to know that the new product is ready to ship.

Replace the first person subject by an impersonal expression, which tells directly what the persons should know instead of saying what you would like.

The corrected sentence would be:

It is important that the team know that the new product is ready to ship

4. The writers need to clean up and clear up the text to improve the format of the document

What does clean up and clear up the text mean? You can say it with a word with a direct message, making it more formal: edit the text.

Thus, the corrected sentence could be:

The writers need to edit the text to improve the format of the document.
