Hello,
The following sentence contains an unnecessary word... correct?
Thank You
The snake raised up its head and struck.
Yes. This sentence has an unnecessary word. What do you think it is?
Yes, you are correct. The word that is unnecessary in the sentence is "up".
To identify the unnecessary word, you can try removing it and see if the sentence still makes sense and conveys the intended meaning. In this case, removing the word "up" does not affect the meaning of the sentence, so it can be considered unnecessary. The revised sentence would be: "The snake raised its head and struck."
