Question

it goes without saying that teams better than ours are few and far between A.slang B.illiteracies or improprieties C. trite expressions D. jargon E. redundancies or wordiness F. mixed metaphors

Answer 1

"It goes without saying" and "few and far between" are trite expressions, but "few and far between" is also redundant. If I had to rewrite the sentence, I would just say, "There are few teams better than ours." or "Few teams are better than ours."
