Let’s go through each sentence one by one. The goal is to remove redundant words — that means cutting out extra words that repeat the same idea.
---
1. Mario went to sleep at 10:30 p.m. at night.
→ “p.m.” already means “after noon,” so “at night” is unnecessary.
✔ Corrected: Mario went to sleep at 10:30 p.m.
---
2. It’s a true fact that the speed of light is 299,792,458 meters per second.
→ “Fact” already means something that is true. So “true fact” is repeating itself.
✔ Corrected: It’s a fact that the speed of light is 299,792,458 meters per second.
---
3. Terrence fumigated his house to kill the termites dead.
→ If you kill something, it’s already dead. You don’t need to say “dead.”
✔ Corrected: Terrence fumigated his house to kill the termites.
---
4. It’s a habitual custom for Mrs. Gonzalez to have a cup of tea when she reads the newspaper.
→ “Habitual” and “custom” both mean something done regularly. Pick one.
✔ Corrected: It’s a custom for Mrs. Gonzalez to have a cup of tea when she reads the newspaper.
*(Or: “It’s habitual for Mrs. Gonzalez...” — either works!)*
---
5. These curtains are shorter in length than those.
→ “Shorter” already refers to length. No need to say “in length.”
✔ Corrected: These curtains are shorter than those.
---
6. The citizens protested against the new law.
→ “Protested” already means they were against something. “Against” is extra.
✔ Corrected: The citizens protested the new law.
---
7. Will you return again?
→ “Return” means to come back. “Again” repeats that idea.
✔ Corrected: Will you return?
---
8. The ATM machine is broken.
→ “ATM” stands for “Automated Teller Machine.” So saying “ATM machine” is like saying “machine machine.”
✔ Corrected: The ATM is broken.
---
9. We must cooperate together if we’re ever going to finish this science project.
→ “Cooperate” means to work together. “Together” is redundant.
✔ Corrected: We must cooperate if we’re ever going to finish this science project.
---
10. The students voted completely unanimously to elect Katia class president.
→ “Unanimously” means everyone agreed — no need for “completely.”
✔ Corrected: The students voted unanimously to elect Katia class president.
---
11. John arrived early at the party, so he circled around the block for a while.
→ “Circled” already means going around. “Around” is extra.
✔ Corrected: John arrived early at the party, so he circled the block for a while.
---
12. Bianca is an optimist; she thinks our futures to come will be full of happiness.
→ “Futures to come” — “futures” already means what’s coming. Also, “future” is usually singular here.
✔ Corrected: Bianca is an optimist; she thinks our future will be full of happiness.
---
