Which sentence or pair of sentences illustrates wordiness and redundancy?

1 answer:

4 0

<span>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.</span>

PLEASE HURRY I WILL GIVE BRAINLIST AND 200 POINTS

Usimov [2.4K]

Explanation:

Hello cousin,

Something terrible happened to my family and I. My family and I were on a boat, having a good time together when a huge storm hit. Everybody was freaking out, I was so overwhelmed and shocked. I didn't know what would happen to us. There was a bunch of water in the boat, and everyone was soaked. After the storm calmed down we all made it back to the coast unhurt. I am so thankful that nobody was hurt, I hope you're doing well too. We had towels in the car so we all could get some water off. Afterwards, when we were coming back to the house, everybody was so shocked nobody talked. When we got home, nothing really happened. Thankfully everybody is okay, they are just a little scared. I don't think we are ever going to get on a boat again. Don't worry about us, please email me back as soon as possible.

Sincerely,

Your cousin

(I hope this helps)

How does paragraph 7 contribute to the development of ideas in the article in the Commonlit Article Herd Behavior? Paragraph 7:

SashulF [63]

In this article, the author talks about the definition of the term herd behaviour when it applies to humans. This is a behaviour that people sometimes adopt and which leads them to act in irrational ways or with panic. When people follow this behaviour, they act in the way in which they perceive the crowd to act, even when this is not beneficial or logical.

Paragraph 7 provides an example of this type of thinking in action. In this paragraph, we learn of the way in which Hitler used this tendency to gain support for his cause. By providing this example, paragraph 7 allows the reader to think of what the behaviour looks like in action. It also allows the reader to better appreciate the consequences of herd behaviour in real life.
