Question

select the word or phrase that is redundant and can be removed without changing the meaning of the text.

in 2013, researchers discovered and found a new species of golden jellyfish, pelagia benovici, in the adriatic sea off the coast of venice, italy.
submit

Explanation:

The words "discovered" and "found" have very similar meanings in this context, so one of them is redundant. Removing "and found" (or just "found") won't change the meaning as "discovered" already conveys the idea of finding something new. Specifically, "found" is redundant here because "discovered" already implies finding.

Answer:

and found
