Question

review the paragraph about the first successful combat helicopter rescue.
the first successful combat rescue mission by helicopter occurred at the height of world war
ii. a helicopter exhibition at the national air and space museum inspired me to
learn more about this mission. on april 21, 1944, one american and three british soldiers
crash - landed their plane behind enemy lines in southeast asia. although wounded, the men
managed to escape into the jungle. they were soon located by an american war plane, and
the u.s. military sent helicopter pilot carter harman to retrieve them. since the aircraft could
only carry one passenger at a time, harman had to make four individual trips, all while
hoping to avoid being spotted by enemy forces. despite a delay halfway through the rescue,
caused by an overheated engine, harman eventually carried all four men to safety.
why should the bolded sentence be removed?
it provides information that is redundant.
it provides unnecessary personal information.

Explanation:

The bolded sentence is a personal, subjective statement from the writer that is unrelated to the factual account of the first successful combat helicopter rescue mission, which is the core focus of the paragraph. It adds no relevant details about the mission itself, making it redundant to the informational purpose of the text.

Answer:

It provides information that is redundant.
