Answer 2

Answer:

In the Long Beach California School District, statistics show that school fights and violence went down by 74 percent after uniforms were introduced.

Explanation:

This sentence has redundancy because it repeats information twice. This is the information that is repeated:

In the Long Beach California School District, statistics show that school fights and violence went down by 74 percent after uniforms were introduced.

Note that statistics and 74 percent mean the same thing. In other words, the  same information has been expressed twice in the paper.

An alternative will be re-writing the sentence like this:

• In the Long Beach California School District,  school fights and violence went down by 74 percent after uniforms were introduced.

In the sentence above, the information is not repeated twice.
