Answer:
D. acknowledge the potentially embarrassing circumstances under which she is delivering her speech
Explanation:
Most of the students at Wellesley College did not want Barbara Bush to speak because they believed that she was only famous because of her husband (president at the time). A majority of the students wanted Alice Walker to give a speech instead, however this did not occur. Bush is trying to use comedic relief in this line to lighten the mood surrounding her speech.

The sentence that should be eliminated to get rid of redundancy would be "The group had quite a past history to reminisce about".
Redundancy refers to a weakness in a speech or a piece of writing that presents unnecessary repetition, information that isn't useful or words with the same explicit or implied meaning.
In the sentence I marked, the word "past" is causing a redundancy. When we're being told that there's "history to reminisce about" <u>it's already implied that it's in the past since we can't reminisce about anything else but the past and all history is past.</u>
