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.

Why is it difficult to transport fruits in mountain and hilly region?

Karolina [17]

Answer:

Topography of the soil of the area

Explanation:

It should be understood that the shape of the land of mountain or hilly region is sloppy, which makes it to be prone to erosion. This means that during the rainy season , the soil will be easily washed away by the running water.

It should be noted also that due to the rocky nature of the geographical area, it is difficult to build a motorable road , and if it is eventually built, it will be damaged in no time due to the effect of the running water during rainfall.

This situation is adversely affecting the farming in such type of geographical area , because there is no motorable road for the farmers to transport their farm produce to where it will be sold.

In this case, the only available or know means of transporting farm products is by carrying on the heads or backs, which is very tiring as well as energy and time consuming.
