Question

select the word or phrase that is redundant and can be removed without changing the meaning of the text. although warm herbal drinks made from peppermint and chamomile are commonly called teas, theyre more accurately and correctly known as tisanes.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

To determine the redundant word/phrase, we analyze the meanings: "accurately" and "correctly" have very similar meanings in this context (both imply precision in the description of what the drinks are known as). Removing one (either "accurately" or "correctly") won't change the meaning. Since the question asks for the redundant one, we can see that "and correctly" (or "correctly") is redundant as "accurately" already conveys the intended sense.

Answer:

correctly (or "and correctly" as the phrase including "and" and "correctly" is redundant when paired with "accurately")
