Question about the use of rehash in a sentence.
Does this sentence make sense? Is it correct grammar?
"Mark Antony was able to move the public by using material that was already mentioned and rehashing it in his favor."
"Mark Antony was able to move the public by using material that was already mentioned and rehashing it in his favor."

The meaning and grammar are OK, but 'rehash' is inappropriate register: it is very casual.

AnonymousIs it correct grammar?Yes. You may think it is incorrect because the preposition by is not repeated later in the sentence.
... by using material that ...
and
(by) rehashing it ...
Does that help bring out the structure better?
