Question

The following sentences test correctness and effectiveness of expression.

The adaptation of a novel for the screen often requires major adjustments in plot because the one art form differs from the other in having other character-revelation techniques.

• A. Because the one art form differs from the other in having other character-revelation techniques
• B. Because the two art forms reveal character in different ways
• C. Because of the differing ways the two may use for revealing a character
• D. Inasmuch as there are different ways in the two art forms for character revelation
• E. Insofar as the two differ in how to reveal character

Answer 1

The correct option is B Because the two art forms reveal character in different ways

Apart from being very convoluted and indirect, the underlined portion also uses constructs like "the one art for" and "having other character revelation techniques" which are inappropriate and unnecessary in the given context. Only B rectifies these errors.
