Question

Select the option that changes the underlined parts of the sentence more concise and easy to understand.

Last week local shrimpers held a news conference to take some credit for the resurgence of the rare Kemp's ridley turtle, saying that their compliance with laws requiring that turtle-excluder devices be on shrimp nets protect adult sea turtles.

• A. requiring that turtle-excluder devices be on shrimp nets protect
• B. requiring turtle-excluder devices on shrimp nets is protecting
• C. that require turtle-excluder devices on shrimp nets protect
• D. to require turtle-excluder devices on shrimp nets are protecting
• E. to require turtle-excluder devices on shrimp nets is protecting

Answer 1

The correct option is B requiring turtle-excluder devices on shrimp nets is protecting

'protect' needs the verb form for the subject 'compliance', so should be protected. So option A, C, D are wrong choices.

D and E are gone for the "to require", which is incorrect.

Correct Option is B as in this option no errors are there, proper use of idiom.
