Question

Many people, in fact, like to eat ice cream and other frozen treats during the winter.

Which phrase can be deleted without changing the sentence's meaning?

in fact
during the winter
many people
other frozen treats

Answer 1

The phrase that can be deleted without changing the sentence's meaning is "in fact." The sentence would still convey the same idea without it: "Many people like to eat ice cream and other frozen treats during the winter."
