Question

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

pesto, a sauce that originated in northern italy, is traditionally prepared with basil, garlic, pine nuts, parmesan cheese, and olive oil, but some people also add lemon juice in addition.

Explanation:

The phrase "in addition" is redundant because the word "also" already conveys the idea of adding something extra. Removing "in addition" does not change the meaning of the sentence as "also" still indicates that lemon juice is an additional ingredient some people add to pesto.

Answer:
