Finding the unnecessary word: We'd have to come to some sort of decision... Sat Jan 19, 2008 15:47 pm  Finding the unnecessary word: We'd have to come to some sort of decision...
 

Hi,

I'm supposed to find the unnecessary word in the following sentence. The word is either grammatically incorrect or does not fit in with the sense of the sentence.

We'd have to come to some sort of decision ourselves if the meeting were to put off for any reason.

Can you tell me which word is redundant and why? Thanks.
