<p>“The captive himself reported the incident. According to that report, Pocahontas held his head in her arms and laid her own upon his to save him from death.”</p>
<p>How does changing “according to that report” to “according to the captive’s own report of the incident” eliminate the origional redundancy? I just don’t see how somehow…hmm</p>
<p>If I understand the question correctly, I think the idea is that you get rid of the first sentence (“The captive himself reported the incident.”) entirely. The new version is a single sentence: “According to the captive’s own report of the incident, Pocahontas held his head in her arms and laid her own upon his to save him from death.” That eliminates the redundant use of “that report.”</p>
<p>Oops how careless I was…</p>
