    1. You can never count of getting true facts from Bill.
    Redundant words: prevacating because it simply means that he is not saying the truth so it’s not needed.
    2. The Blazer’s huge defensive tackle made him almost look ready for the pro’s.
    Redundant words: huge giant, its implied by “enormous proportions” therefore not needed.
    3. Our furry little puppy, Macky, is named after Mack the Knife because he likes to playfully bite us.
    Redundant words: just for fun, because playfully was already stated, as well as canine, since it was already said that Mackey was a puppy.
    4. Mackey is a bundle of energy whose sharp teeth destroyed two sofa pillows.
    Redundant words: on the couch, cause if it’s a sofa pillow then obviously its on the couch, as well as bouncy.
