Redundancy

Read the following sentence to determine the best answer. 

At first glance, the cryptic directions (you couldn’t figure them out) seemed impossible to understand.

C.  seemed impossible so you couldn’t figure them out

D. seemed so impossible you almost couldn’t figure them out

Students need practice decoding ACT® questions so they will not feel intimidated by the test. Unless students are answering practice questions that perfectly emulate the ACT®’s approach and level of rigor, they are not using their time wisely. MasteryPrep has taken an enormous amount of care to ensure that every practice question appearing in the ACT® Mastery workbooks is of the highest quality.

The correct answer is B. Being unable to figure something out has the same meaning as something being impossible to understand. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they are redundant. Choice B is correct because it is clear, concise, and does not unnecessarily restate information.
