English Sentence Correction QUESTION #4893
Question 1
A common disability in test pilots is hearing impairment, _____.
  • a consequence of sitting too close to large jet engines for long periods of time✔️
  • a consequence from sitting for long periods of time too near to large jet engines
  • a consequence which resulted from sitting too close to large jet engines for long periods of time
  • damaged from sitting too near to large jet engines for long periods of time
Correct Answer Explanation
It uses the concise and idiomatic appositive 'a consequence of + gerund phrase' to modify 'hearing impairment.' Option B uses the wrong preposition 'from.' Option C is redundant ('consequence which resulted'). Options D and E introduce 'damaged,' which cannot logically modify the noun 'hearing impairment.'
