Answer: A. 1) Adequate enough

2) Combined together

3) Big in size

4) Absolutely essential

b. 3) “That was unfinished”

Explanation:

A. Redundancies in phrases refer to the repetition of words with the same or similar meanings which gives off the impression of saying the same things twice. All the options listed are therefore redundancies.

By saying something is Adequate which means that it is sufficient for something one does not again need to include enough because it is the same as sufficient as well.

By also saying Combined, one has already inferred that something was brought together. Including together again is redundant because the together is already in the definition of combined.

Big in size is another redundancy because when a person describes something as Big, they are already referring to the size of the thing in question. Adding in size is therefore not needed.

Finally, the Absolutely in the phrase makes the phrase redundant. When something is said to be essential it means that it is absolutely needed or crucial. To say something is Absolutely Essentially is like saying something is an Essential Essential.

B. The Johnson report had already been said to contain incomplete data. To go on to say that the data is Unfinished is a redundancy because by saying that it is incomplete it means that the data is by definition Unfinished. Removing the “That was unfinished” bit fixes the sentence.

Answer:

c. interest rates on bonds of different maturities move together over time.

Explanation:

"When riding the yield curve, an investor will purchase bonds with maturities longer than the investment horizon and sell them at the end of the investment horizon. This strategy is used in order to profit from the normal upward slope in the yield curve caused by liquidity preferences and from the greater price fluctuations that occur at longer maturities."

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

Price level may increase or decrease and output decreases.

Explanation:

The price level is determinated bu the money supply and demand. A single price, in this case oil, cannot determinate prices or we end up in a loop.

So this is insufficient information to determinate the price level.

While the income decrease at a worldwide level will make the output of the economy even lower.
