Zorluk: OrtaEliminating Redundancy

Architects designing modern skyscrapers often incorporate self-healing concrete, a novel material embedded with bacterial spores that produce limestone when exposed to moisture. Due to the fact that this biological process occurs automatically by itself, structural repair costs for micro-cracks are drastically reduced over time.

Which choice best eliminates unnecessary redundancy while maintaining the grammatical correctness of the sentence?

  1. A
    NO CHANGE
  2. Because this biological process occurs automatically,Cevap
  3. C
    Because this biological process occurring automatically,
  4. D
    This biological process occurs automatically,

Cevap

The phrasing 'Because this biological process occurs automatically,' is the most concise and grammatically correct option.
The correct answer replaces the wordy prepositional construction 'Due to the fact that' with the concise conjunction 'Because', and it removes 'by itself', which redundantly repeats the meaning of 'automatically'.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify wordiness and repetitive meaning in the underlined segment.
The phrase 'Due to the fact that' is an overly wordy substitute for 'Because', and 'automatically' means the exact same thing as 'by itself' in this context.
Good writing avoids expressing identical concepts twice in the same clause.
2
Evaluate the concise alternatives for grammatical structure.
Substituting 'Because' for 'Due to the fact that' and dropping 'by itself' yields a complete, clear dependent clause that smoothly connects to the main sentence.
The correct answer must eliminate redundancy without introducing sentence structure errors such as fragments or comma splices.
