Redundancy: 1 - Jack is an incredible linguist who has the capability and proficiency of conversing in seven different languages.

Jack is an incredible linguist who is proficient in seven (different) languages.

Explanation:

Redundancy in the needless repetition of words, phrases, sentences, paragraphs, or ideas. By repeating words with the same or similar meaning we gain nothing. For example, in the given sentence, there is no need to say that Jack has the capability AND proficiency. It's enough to say one or the other, that he is capable of conversing in OR that he is proficient in seven different languages. We could even go as far as discarding the word different, as it's understood that Jack speaks seven different languages since there are no seven same languages, but it isn't as necessary as it is with other words.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
