    This annual migration occurs every year, and it draws
  2. B
    This annual migration draws them, it draws
  3. This annual migration drawsCevap
  4. D
    This annual migration, which draws

Cevap

The correct choice is 'This annual migration draws' because it removes the redundant phrase 'every year' while maintaining the correct grammatical structure of the sentence.
The correct choice is the option that states 'This annual migration draws' because it removes the redundant phrase 'every year' (since 'annual' already conveys that the migration happens once a year) and provides a main verb 'draws' to form a grammatically complete sentence.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify redundant phrases in the original sentence.
The adjective 'annual' and the phrase 'every year' both mean occurring once a year, making one of them redundant.
Redundancy occurs when the same information is repeated unnecessarily, and standardized tests require selecting the most concise grammatically correct option.
2
Evaluate the grammatical role of the underlined portion.
The underlined portion begins a new sentence after a period, meaning it must contain a subject and a verb to form a complete independent clause.
Eliminating redundancy must not introduce new grammatical errors like fragments or comma splices.
3
Test each option for both conciseness and grammatical correctness.
The choice 'This annual migration draws' successfully eliminates the redundancy while providing the main verb 'draws' to form a complete sentence.
This determines the final correct option that is both concise and grammatically sound.
