  3. This migrationCevap
  4. D
    This annual migration occurs,

Cevap

This migration
The correct option is the most concise and direct phrasing. Because the first sentence already establishes that the migration happens 'Every autumn,' repeating this time frame with words like 'annual' or 'yearly' is redundant. Removing these redundant terms and the pronoun that follows creates a grammatically sound, complete sentence.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the redundant element in the underlined portion.
The word 'annual' and the phrase 'on a yearly basis' are redundant because they mean the same thing. Furthermore, the first sentence already states that the event happens 'Every autumn', making any repetition of its yearly frequency unnecessary.
ACT English questions prioritize conciseness and clarity, requiring the elimination of repetitive words or ideas.
2
Evaluate the remaining options for grammatical correctness and conciseness.
Removing the redundant elements and the pronoun 'it' allows the subject 'This migration' to connect directly to the verb 'is', creating a complete and grammatically correct sentence: 'This migration is essential for their survival...'
Eliminating redundant words must not introduce grammatical errors such as fragments or comma splices.
