Question 13 • DBN LA 6-CR

Which of the following sentences should be revised to eliminate redundancy?

Answer
A
The restaurant is famous for its delicious and tangy barbeque sauce.
B
The troop will earn points for each and every box of cookies sold.
C
Mr. Ellis decided to retire after an admirable and rewarding career in law.
D
As a sailor, Michael traveled all over the world and saw amazing places.

Explanation

“Each” and “every” have nearly the same meaning in “each and every box,” so using both is redundant. The sentence can be revised to say, “The troop will earn points for each box of cookies sold.” The other choices use descriptive words that add distinct information rather than repeating the same idea.
