Answer 1

Answer:

Example that avoids redundancy of language is Option  B) The supper they fed us was delicious and filling.

Explanation:

Redundancy means the words used have the same meaning. This leads to repetition in the sentence and doesn't give a good effect to the reader. He might get confused by the writing with redundancy as well.

Option A refers the food as delicious and tasty which mean the same. So, it is redundant. Option C refers to supper as plentiful and abundant which mean the same, that the supper was more than enough for them. This option is therefore redundant. Option D uses words like nutritious and good for us, which mean the same.

Hence, the example that avoids redundancy is Option B which uses words delicious and filling for the supper. Delicious means tasty and filling means it was enough to fill their stomach.
