Question 2 • English III

Which of the following sentences can be revised to eliminate redundancies?

Answer
A
The coast of Florida is home to many unique sea creatures like the manatee.
B
The tall skyscrapers in New York City maximize the space of a small area.
C
The Golden Gate Bridge leads from the San Francisco Bay to the Pacific Ocean.
D
Nebraska's primary farm products are cattle, hogs, soybeans, and wheat.

Explanation

Choice B can be revised because “tall skyscrapers” is redundant: skyscrapers are already tall buildings. You could write, “The skyscrapers in New York City maximize the space of a small area.” The other sentences do not contain an equally clear redundancy.
