Redundancy error
People often use "comprised of" thinking it is synonymous with "composed of", and adding "solely" seems to emphasize exclusivity. However, "comprise" itself inherently includes everything without needing "of" or "solely".
The word "comprise" should be used without "of" and without additional emphasis like "solely". It means "to consist of" or "to be made up of".
