Question

select the word or phrase that is redundant and can be removed without changing the meaning of the text. despite the fact that the hindenburg was filled with seven million cubic feet of highly flammable and combustible hydrogen gas, the german airship had a smoking lounge. save answer

Explanation:

The words "flammable" and "combustible" have similar meanings. Using both is redundant as they convey the same property of the hydrogen gas (easily catching fire). Removing one of them (either "flammable" or "combustible") will not change the overall meaning of the sentence.

Answer:

Either "flammable" or "combustible" (since they are redundant as they both mean easily set on fire).
