Question

select the word or phrase that is redundant and can be removed without changing the meaning of the text. although many people think of seattle as the rainiest city in the united states, each year seattle receives less rainfall annually than miami, new york, and houston.

Explanation:

To determine redundancy, analyze the words: "each year" and "annually" both refer to a yearly time frame. Removing "annually" (or "each year") won't change the meaning as both convey the same temporal frequency for rainfall measurement.

Answer:

annually
