Difficulty: EasyEliminating Redundancy

The museum's new exhibit features several interactive displays that are designed for visitors to interact with, allowing children and adults to learn through play.

Which of the following is the best choice for the underlined portion of the sentence?

  1. A
    displays that are designed for visitors to interact with,
  2. displays,Answer
  3. C
    displays, they are designed to interact with,
  4. D
    displays. Which are designed for visitors to interact with,

Answer

displays,
The correct choice, which simplifies the underlined portion to 'displays,', is correct because it removes the phrase 'that are designed for visitors to interact with.' Since the displays are already described as 'interactive,' repeating this idea is redundant. Removing this phrase creates a concise, grammatically correct sentence that flows smoothly into the next part of the sentence.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the redundant element in the underlined portion of the sentence.
The adjective 'interactive' modifies the noun 'displays'. The relative clause 'that are designed for visitors to interact with' defines 'interactive', repeating the same concept.
Redundancy is tested on the ACT English section, and sentences must express ideas as concisely as possible without repeating meanings.
2
Evaluate the choices to find the one that removes the redundant clause while maintaining correct grammar.
The option containing just 'displays,' successfully eliminates the redundancy and correctly connects to the modifying participial phrase 'allowing children...'.
This produces a clean, concise, and grammatically complete sentence.
