Answer 1

If past history is an indication, the sirens will save hundreds of lives. 

Answer 2

The state of being no longer needed is called redundancy. Here in the given paragraph, sentence "If past history is an indication, the sirens will save hundreds of lives." should be revised to take out redundancy, i.e., option C.

What is the redundancy in given paragraph?

The paragraph states that for warning about danger, an alert system such as sirens are needed immediately.

Here in the sentence,  "If past history is an indication, the sirens will save hundreds of lives." there is a redundancy i.e., the word 'past'. As here both the words i.e., past and history are in use.

If one is using the word history then it should be related to past, so no need to add the word 'past' in the sentence and vice-versa.

This statement has redundancy and hence it is needed to be revised.

Thus, the correct answer is C.
