Answer:
During the time I lived in Southern California, I had intended to visit Disneyland.
Explanation:
Redundant words are those words that need not be included in a sentence. They may make the sentence wordy but they do not add any value or meaning to the sentence, thus, they are redundant. Redundant, in simple terms, means useless, unnecessary.
In the given sentence, certain words can be removed and replaced to make the same meaningful sentence but shorter and simpler. Thus, the simplified final sentence can be written as
<u><em>During the time I lived in Southern California, I had intended to visit Disneyland.</em></u>
Answer:I managed to find the complete exercise on the Internet, given that you haven't provided us with all options given to you.
1. cogitating = contemplating
To cogitate means to think about something (cogito in Latin literally means 'to think). Contemplating means to mull over a couple (or a lot) of options which is what Mr. Gamefield is doing in the excerpt above - he is thinking of ways to pay his rent.
2. cudgeling = beating
A cudgel is a short stick which you can use as a weapon. So if you cudgel something or someone, it means that you are beating them with a cudgel, because it is a thick stick, almost like a bat. So this person was metaphorically cudgeling his brain, but literally cudgeling his donkey.
3. regaled = rewarded
The verb to regale has two meanings - it can either mean 'to entertain someone,' or it can mean 'to supply someone with something.' Here, the latter meaning is used - the donkey thought he would be given a cabbage-stalk or two for his hard work
