Question

which word can replace the phrase really unnecessary without changing the meaning of this sentence ? although the report has plenty of details and was well written, we believed many sections were really unnecessary because much of the information added little value A. hypothetical B. superfluous C. compulsory D. conservative

Answer 1

superfluous

Step-by-step explanation:

Superfluous means unnecessary. Replacing the phrase "really unnecessary" with it's synonym, superfluous will not change the meaning of the sentence. Hypothetical is something that could happen but hasn't actually happened. It's an "if" type situation. Compulsory is a requirement. This is the opposite of really unnecessary. Conservative basically means traditional. These other options would change the overall meaning of the sentence.

Answer 2

B. Superfluous

meaning unnecessary, especially through being more than enough
