Why must ‘with a set’ come after ‘as a group’?
This morning I came across the following statement in an English language book:
This time you will experience how to deduce meaning of words, especially when taken as a group with a set.
I wonder: Why must another phrase ‘with a set’ come after the phrase ‘as a group’? Isn’t it that ‘a group’ already suggests ‘a set? Aren’t ‘a group’ and ‘a set’ synonymous?
