Question

select the word or phrase that is redundant and can be removed without changing the meaning of the text. the newest addition to our family was born at 5:38 p.m. in the evening and weighed eight pounds, six ounces. submit

Explanation:

"P.M." stands for "post meridiem" which means "in the afternoon/evening". So "in the evening" is redundant as it repeats the time period indicated by "P.M.". Removing "in the evening" won't change the meaning of the sentence as the time (5:38 P.M.) already implies it's in the evening.

Answer:

in the evening
