知识点 2

Remove redundancy, wordiness, and unnecessary qualifiers.

Cut repeated ideas and filler words without losing meaning.

核心知识

Cut words that repeat an idea already present. If the sentence means the same thing without them, ACT usually wants them gone.

深入理解

Rule: Redundancy shows up when two words do the same job, as in advance planning or completely unanimous. Wordiness also appears in heavy phrases like due to the fact that when a simpler option does the same work.

Keep the meaning, not the bulk. The best revision removes extras while leaving the sentence grammatical and natural.

分步讲解

  1. Underline the core meaning of the sentence.
  2. Check whether any word repeats that meaning or weakens it with filler.
  3. Choose the option that says the same thing with fewer, stronger words.

常见误解

  • Repeating an idea does not make it clearer.
  • If a shorter choice keeps the meaning, the longer one is usually weaker.
