Question

Which sentence or pair of sentences illustrates wordiness and redundancy?

Answer 1

B) Jupiter is the largest and most prominent planet in the solar system. It is the fifth planet in the solar system, followed by the planet Saturn, which is the sixth planet in the solar system.

The second half of the second sentence here "which is the sixth planet in the solar system" is redundant and unnecessary. The author has already told the reader that Saturn comes after Jupiter, which is the 5th planet. The reader should be able to then understand that Saturn is the 6th.
