Cevap:In her research on workplace productivity, psychologist Jeanette Harris examines how digital environments affect mental endurance.

Consequently, she recommends taking short, scheduled breaks throughout the workday to mitigate mental exhaustion.
Cevap
by
The sentence establishes a comparison between two causes of cognitive fatigue using the structure 'more [X] than [Y]'. The first element of the comparison is introduced as a prepositional phrase starting with the preposition 'by' ('by the duration of continuous screen exposure'). To maintain parallel structure, the second element of the comparison ('the complexity of the tasks being performed') must also be introduced as a prepositional phrase starting with the identical preposition 'by'.
