Patty and Maureen took the long drive to their high school reunion. The women were excited about the prospect of seeing old friends at the ranch. The group had quite a past history to reminisce about. The weekend was sure to be full of stories and laughter!

Which sentence should be revised to eliminate redundancy?
Sentence 1
Sentence 2
Sentence 3
Sentence 4

Answer 1

1) vast openness — "vast" and "openness" both convey expansiveness, making the phrase redundant.

2) My daily routine consists of studying, exercising, and working. (first option) — it removes the unnecessary restatement.

3) Sentence 3 — "The group had quite a past history to reminisce about." ("past history" is redundant because history already refers to the past.)
