1.
If readers must puzzle over unfamiliar or ambiguous words, you are making them work harder than they need to.

3.

4.
Here's a slightly outrageous tip: Don't respect the text. Just because you've written something down doesn't mean it has a right to exist. If your internal editor can find a better way to say something, junk the original version and go with the new one. If you can't find a better way, and the passage really isn't good, junk it.
