Please consider these two sentences:
#1 Although we were sitting in the bleachers, the baseball game WAS AS exciting to us AS to the people sitting behind home plate
I was told that it is REDUNDANT to write: "WAS AS exciting to us AS IT WAS to the people sitting behind home plate"
But take a look at sentence #2
#2 The students did poorly on the test more BECAUSE they had not studied then BECAUSE the material was difficult
if the second BECAUSE in the sentence is not redundant why is the AS IT WAS in the first sentence considered redundant.
Is there any rule of thumb I can follow to figure out when a parallel requires the words describing it and when it does not?
Thanks
