Answer 1

The phrase which should be deleted is d) in shape.

• In English linguistics, correct grammar, tense and sentence structure are important to frame a proper sentence.
• The usage of unnecessary words should be avoided n a sentence.
• As we know, oblong is a shape so we do not need to mention 'oblong in shape'.
• Writing only 'oblong' is enough.
