Point out any instances of deadwood and pointless repetition in the following
sentences.
1. At this point in time, we have no travel plans.
2. In my opinion, I think depression is a terrible kind of illness.
3. We have ignored and neglected the basic fundamental essentials for too
long a period of time.
4. Men and women of both sexes must join the combat to fight for a better
world.
5. Sleepy and tired, he looked drained and exhausted.

Answer:

1. In time.

2. I think.

3. Neglected.

4. Both sexes.

5. Exhausted.

Explanation:

A sentence can be defined as a group of words that comprises of both a subject and predicate used to convey a logical information. Sentences are classified into four (4) main categories and these includes;

I. Simple sentence.

II. Compound sentence.

III. Complex sentence.

IV. Compound-Complex sentence.

A deadwood and pointless repetition simply means the use of synonymous words or phrases more than once in a sentence.

1. At this point (in time), we have no travel plans. The phrase "in time" is a pointless repetition because it serves the same purpose as "at this point" in a sentence and as such it should be dropped.

2. In my opinion, (I think) depression is a terrible kind of illness. The phrase "I think" is a pointless repetition because it's simply a person's personal opinion or idea.

3. We have ignored and (neglected) the basic fundamental essentials for too long a period of time. Ignore and neglect are synonymous i.e means the same thing and as such shouldn't be used together, so as to avoid pointless repetition.

4. Men and women of (both sexes) must join the combat to fight for a better world. The phrase "men and women" connotes two sexes and as such, it is needless adding both sexes in the same sentence.

5. Sleepy and tired, he looked drained and (exhausted). Drained and exhausted are synonymous i.e means the same thing and as such shouldn't be used together, so as to avoid pointless repetition.
