Delete usual. Custom and usual do not flow together and a custom is already a usual thing, just like tradition.

The correct answer is B. Delete usual

Explanation:

In writing, redundancy occurs when there is an unnecessary repetition of ideas or words that mean the same, this means more words and phrases than the ones that are required are used. This is a common mistake as it is people sometimes believe the longer a phrase or text is the more formal or complete it is. However, redundancy just makes texts and phrases more difficult to understand and unnecessarily long. In the case of the sentence "The local people’s usual custom is to warmly welcome foreign dignitaries" redundancy occurs as the words "usual" and "custom" both refers to actions or behaviors that are common or a habitual practice which means the idea that the behavior of warmly welcoming foreign dignitaries is common is repeated twice and therefore redundant. Considering this, the revision that would remove a redundant word from this sentence is "delete usual".

Do you agree or disagree with the author's opinion that video games lead to gambling problems later?
Alex

Answer:

I agree that in some cases that might be the case especi if the game is a gambling game however, I doubt that is the case with most main-line video games. Considering how most games aren’t about gambling and usually have discipline causing you to loose money. For example, in the Mario and Sonic games produced by NIntendo and Sega, if you run into an enemy, you will loose money. Similarly, in the Zelda games there are games you can play and win prizes for around 20 rupees, however these games are challenging and will sometimes scam you.

Explanation:

Was there supposed to be a text?

Can somebody help me with this problem
gavmur [86]
Ok, I read the Odyssey like... 10 times so, I cant read the top question, but the answer the second one is, 

He offers to pay him back with an alliance after he makes it home. The vow is important because Odysseus was arguably the most powerful ruler at the time. So, an alliance with him would help Alcinous a lot.

Compare/contrast the “greenhouse effect” of the earth to an actual green house. Explain 2 reasons why they are similar and 2 rea
tresset_1 [31]
<span>First are similarities, well, literary both have ‘green’. And both have ‘house’ too. So the only similarities of the two are of their words. But they differ so much if we contrast them because greenhouse effect is a social problem where the gases from CFCs accumulated to the earth’s stratosphere causing pollution and trapped heat.  Green house is one of the ways people could avoid greenhouse effect. In making your house green, that is making it plant-friendly, you will be breathing more oxygen, less carbon dioxide.</span>
