Which sentence contains a redundancy?

English
2 answers:
Elena L [17]3 years ago

D) It was his usual custom to wash his hands before each meal.

When one is redundant, one basically says the same thing twice or says something that is unnecessary.  For instance, it would be redundant to say “wet water” because water, by its nature is wet.  Thus, when we look at Option D, the redundancy it contains is “usual custom.”  This is redundant because an act that is customary, or is a custom, is so because of its usual practice.

The correct answer is D. It was his usual custom to wash his hands before each meal.

Either usual or custom can be removed since one is redundant. If it is usual then it is a custom and if its a custom there is no need to mention that it is usual.

ICE Princess25 [194]

I believe the correct answer is... A claim may be either debatable or factual, depending on the author

because in arguementive essays we state our claim and prevent facts to support our arguement. It definetly is not always true think of when you say "well Tasha claims that sarah hit her" sarcastically inferring it may not be true but it is what she said or believes.
