The first train took twenty-six minutes to complete the route, which ran from City Hall to West 145th Street in under a half an hour. A. NO CHANGE
B. in the completion of its route.
C. in twenty-six minutes.
D. DELETE the underlined portion and end the sentence with a period.

D

Explanation: You first have to realize that 26 minutes is the same thing as "under a than half-hour." Once you see this, you know that the question is testing editing out repetition.

The original (answer A) doesn’t work, since it’s repeating the route length already described in the beginning of the sentence. Answer C has the same problem – it’s repeating the route time exactly as already expressed. Answer B takes one type of redundancy and replaces it with another since it’s just a variant of the words “to complete the route” already in the sentence.

So, the only answer that fixes all the redundancies is D.

for this, you need to remember something significant in your own life, for example, if you were bullied when you were younger, you can mention your memories on this and touch on how such treatment can harm other kids your age either physically or mentally. (racism, car crashes, a parent in the hospital are all very good subjects, think hard on it! )

hope i ! : )

the answer should be d) he was one of those young thousands who greeted the war with a certain amount of relief, welcoming the liberation from webs of tangled emotion" since it is the best option because it shows his desire to free himself.

hope this answer you! have a great day.
