Question 7 • DBN LA 6-CR

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

Answer
A
Our group had a keen advantage over theirs because we've all studied physics.
B
Juan was costumed in disguise when he entered the room.
C
Working in this company can be quite an interesting challenge.
D
The foundation of the house was starting to crumble under pressure.

Explanation

“Costumed” and “in disguise” both suggest that Juan’s appearance was changed to conceal his identity, so using both is redundant. The sentence can be tightened to “Juan was in disguise when he entered the room.”
