"
Help but be
This is an awkward expression which is improved by being reduced to
the two words help being; as, "I could not help being moved by his
appeal."
Kind of a
"He jumped into a kind of a chaise, and hurried off to the station." A
kind of chaise would be better.
New beginner
"Mary plays on the piano very well for a new beginner." If she is a
beginner she must of necessity be new to it.
Opens up
"This story opens up beautifully." The up is superfluous.
Seeming paradox
The word paradox alone implies all that the word seeming is intended
to convey, hence seeming is superfluous. "This was once a paradox but
time now gives it proof."
Different
"There were ten different men ready to accept the offer." As no
reference to the appearance or characteristics of the men is intended,
the word different is unnecessary.
