Question 69

When all the words on the page got scrambled, she quickly pressed undo, after which the document reverted back to its original state.

'Revert' means to 'reset' or 'return to a previous state.' Since 'revert' means to 'go back', the word 'back' serves no purpose and is redundant when used with 'revert'. Specifically, it is tautologically redundant. The correct sentence will be: When all the words on the page got scrambled, she quickly pressed undo, after which the document reverted to its original state. Option B is correct.
