Apart from the joy of great plot and narration, a common reward of reading classic literature is improvement in vocabulary, a result of exposure to a rich and wide range of words that are seldom encountered in everyday life or regular literature.

(A) a result of exposure to a rich and wide range of words

(B) resulting in exposure to a rich and wide range of words

(C) a result from exposure to a rich and wide range of words

(D) an improvement because of exposure to a rich and wide range of words

(E) a result which is a consequence of exposure to a rich and wide range of words

I am big fan of EG Test series but equally a negative user of the answer choice explanation. Doesn't make me understand the things. Maybe a marketing gimmick

Hello Zitkin8,

We hope this finds you well.

To provide a bit of clarity, here is a detailed explanation to this question:

Meaning is crucial to solving this problem:
Understanding the intended meaning is key to solving this question; the intended meaning of the crucial part of this sentence is that a common reward of reading classic literature is an improvement in vocabulary, and this improvement is caused by exposure to a rich and wide range of words.

Concepts tested here: Meaning + Idioms + Awkwardness/Redundancy

• If "result" is used as a noun, the correct, idiomatic construction is "result+ of", and if "result" is used as a verb, the correct, idiomatic construction is "result" in of "result from".

A: Correct.
1/ Option A correctly uses the idiomatic construction "a result of", wherein "result" is a noun, conveying the intended meaning - that the improvement in vocabulary is caused by exposure to a rich and wide range of words.
2/ Option A is free of any awkwardness or redundancy.

B:
1/ Option B alters the meaning of the sentence through the phrase "resulting in exposure"; the construction of this phrase incorrectly implies that the improvement in vocabulary causes exposure to a rich and wide range of words; the intended meaning is that the improvement in vocabulary is caused by exposure to a rich and wide range of words.

C:
1/ Option C incorrectly uses the unidiomatic construction "result + from", wherein "result" is used as a noun; remember, if "result" is used as a noun, the correct, idiomatic construction is "result+ of".

D:
1/ Option D alters the meaning of the sentence through the phrase "an improvement because of"; the construction of this phrase produces an incoherent meaning; the intended meaning is that the improvement in vocabulary is caused by exposure to a rich and wide range of words.

E:
1/ Option E uses the needlessly wordy phrase "a result which is a consequence of", leading to awkwardness and redundancy; this phrase is redundant because "which is a consequence of" can be deleted without a loss of clarity or change in meaning.

Hence, A is the best answer choice.

We hope this helps.
All the best!
