Vietnam Veterans Memorial is a monument of 8000 square meters. It honors the members of the US Army who have died and are missing. Construction and manufacture was the cause of the controversy, which led to an additional construction. The memorial wall that was the cause of the controversy was designed by architect Maya Lin. The problem would be that the wall is black and without ornaments, then, it was lacking in resolving the national conflict over the war. It did not reflect the real circumstances that would speak about conflicting opinions about the war, as well as the minimalist design of the monument that diminishes the value of sacrifice of US soldiers. Some officials, among whom the most vocal were James Webb and H. Ross Perot, called it "the black wall of shame," "slapping in the face of those who served." At first they were supporters of Maya Lin's design, but later they became opponents seeing how the design looks. They also called it a "Nihilistic stone slab". Their claims were supported by the fact that Maya Lin is a young Asian student, and as such is not qualified to design such a monument.
Answer:

Explanation:
Redundancy in the needless repetition of words, phrases, sentences, paragraphs, or ideas. By repeating words with the same or similar meaning we gain nothing. For example, in the given sentence, there is no need to say that Jack has the capability AND proficiency. It's enough to say one or the other, that he is capable of conversing in OR that he is proficient in seven different languages. We could even go as far as discarding the word <em>different</em>, as it's understood that Jack speaks seven different languages since there are no seven same languages, but it isn't as necessary as it is with other words.
Walking by a lane of truth
Running past a road of lies
To see the details of my youth
In which I hear my cries
Looking back I know I tried my best
But more potential could have seeped
Regardless I know have been blessed
As I see myself taking that last leap
Growing as the girl that I was
I see the Spring in my presence
To which there is no pause
Of the blossom in my essence
