You can remove “and found” without changing the meaning.

Solución

  1. The sentence in question is:
    In 2013, researchers discovered and found a new species of golden jellyfish, Pelagia benovici, in the Adriatic Sea off the coast of Venice, Italy.
  2. The phrases “discovered” and “found” have very similar meanings.
  3. Since using either one is sufficient to convey the idea that the new species was identified, including both is redundant.
  4. The word “found” (or the phrase “and found”) can be removed without changing the meaning of the sentence.
  5. The edited sentence becomes:
    In 2013, researchers discovered a new species of golden jellyfish, Pelagia benovici, in the Adriatic Sea off the coast of Venice, Italy.

The word “found” is redundant and can be removed without changing the meaning of the text. The phrase would still convey the same information if rewritten as, “In 2013, researchers discovered a new species of golden jellyfish, Pelagia benovici, in the Adriatic Sea off the coast of Venice, Italy.”
This emphasizes how precise language can make writing clearer and more effective, eliminating unnecessary phrases that don’t add value to the message. Precision in communication ensures that readers grasp the essential information without distraction!
