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. The word "also" already implies an extra element being added. Removing "in addition" does not change the meaning of the sentence as it still conveys that some people add lemon juice on top of the traditional ingredients.

Answer:

The redundant phrase is "in addition".
