Question

Which example avoids redundancy of language?

Answer 1

Hello!

Redundancy of language means when something is repeated more than once in a sentence.

1. The answer cannot be A because "wily" is a synonym of "clever". The sentence is therefore saying: "The clever, clever con artist..."

2. The answer is B because "wily" and "smiling" are two different words with different meaning. Nothing is repeated in this sentence.

3. The answer cannot be C because "grinning" and "smiling are synonyms.

4. The answer also cannot be D because "smart" and "intelligent" are synonyms.

I hope this helps you! Have a lovely day!
