error_description: Word Redundancy Error: 〈both〉 means 'two', while the subject 〈All people〉 means 'everyone', referring to Linda's whole family (more than two people) according to the context. This conflicts semantically with 〈both〉. Deleting the word 〈both〉 makes the sentence align with the intended meaning.
