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".

PART A: In paragraph 31, Vashti declares: “I dislike seeing the horrible brown earth, the sea, and the stars when it is dark. I
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

B. This remark tells us that much of humanity has lost its appreciation for earth and nature, to the point of resenting its mere appearance.  

Explanation:

The question above is related to the short story entitled, "The Machine Stops." It focuses on two characters namely, <em>Vashti</em> and<em> Kuno (her son).</em> In the story, <u>people were living underground</u> and no longer on the surface of the earth. They were able to meet their needs through a global <em>Machine. </em>People were placed in<em> isolated rooms</em> where they communicated with other people through <em>instant messages and video conferences. </em>There were actually some people called the "homeless outcasts" who tried to live on the surface of the Earth.

Unlike her son<em>, Kuno</em>, who was interested to visit and know more about the surface of the Earth, <em>Vashti</em> was<em> "not interested in natural inspiration." </em>So, this explains her remark above. It shows<u> how much of humanity has lost their appreciation for earth and nature.</u> This is the extent to which the underground Machine did to people in the "poisoned darkness."

So, this explains the answer.
