[Grammar] is it redundant?

[rock-onn]

Wisdom is the ability to apply knowledge appropriately which has acquired through reading or through experience.

Is the word 'through' redundant in 'through experience'?

Similarly, a statement based on business theories or economic theories.

Is the word 'theories' redundant in 'business theories'?

 

[Roman55]

Both 'through' and 'theories' can be omitted. The sentences read better without them, especially the one about theories.

Note. It should be, '...which has been acquired'

 

[Barb_D]

It's awkwardly written. "... the ability appropriately apply knowledge acquired through reading or experience."

The "which has been acquired" is awkwardly placed after "appropriately."

 

[rock-onn]

that is a tough sentence.

 

[teechar]

Barb_D was giving you a hint and a chance to fix your own sentence.

 

[Rover_KE]

That is a tough sentence.

You shouldn't be making elementary mistakes like this, rock-onn.

 

[Tdol]

Some people might talk about it showing balance, so there is a case to made against seeing it as redundancy, though it;s not a winner of a sentence.

 

[Raymott]

"... the ability to appropriately apply knowledge acquired through reading or experience."

I guess that was a typo.
