Is the repetition correct?
I heard this on the price is right. Is it natural to say "corresponding" twice? Would you change anything?
You have 4 price tags and four articles. You have 20 seconds to put the corresponding price tag with the corresponding article. If you get all 4 correct you win the articles.
Thank you

It might be better with the first "corresponding" omitted. But in a US game show situation such as this, time is of the essence, and you've got to make sure the contestant gets the instructions right the first time, thus, repeating the word "corresponding," so that there is no chance of confusion, would be typical.
