Question

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

in the 1950s, americans julius and ethel rosenberg were charged with espionage for providing detailed and descriptive information about the atomic bomb to the soviet union.

submit

Explanation:

To determine redundancy, analyze the words: "detailed" and "descriptive" both convey the idea of providing thorough, elaborate information. Removing one (either "detailed" or "descriptive") won't change the meaning. Since the task is to pick one, "descriptive" (or "detailed") is redundant. Here, "descriptive" can be removed as "detailed" already implies a thorough account of the atomic bomb information.

Answer:

descriptive (or detailed, but in the context, "descriptive" is the redundant one here)
