Question

select the word or phrase that is redundant and can be removed without changing the meaning of the text. researchers believe that early humans might have possibly faced extinction nearly one million years ago. save answer

Explanation:

The words "might" and "possibly" both convey a sense of uncertainty. Using both is redundant as they serve the same semantic purpose. Removing one (either "might" or "possibly") would not change the overall meaning of the sentence.

Answer:

"possibly" (or "might" if the other is chosen as redundant, but typically "possibly" is the more common choice to remove in such constructions)
