(A) Spontaneous internal bleeding and the formation of blood clots and malignancies present considerable risk during the post-heart transplant recovery process.
-Suspected to be correct.
Rationale: The risks associated with heart transplants are presented before referring to recovery processes.

(B) The reason the post-heart transplant recovery process presents a considerably risk is because of spontaneous internal bleeding and the formation of blood clots and malignancies.
-Suspected to be incorrect.
Rationale: The use of "a considerably risk" is misused; there needed to be a word to describe the level of risk. For example, "a considerably high or low risk".

(C) A considerable risk is presented during the post-heart transplant recovery process, where internal bleeding is spontaneous and the formation of blood clots and malignancies.
-Suspected to be incorrect.
Rationale: The words "and the formation of blood clots and malignancies" are left awkwardly in the end of the sentence. The word "occur" could be inserted at the end of the sentence to improve sentence structure.

(D) The post-heart transplant recovery process presents a considerable risk due to the fact of spontaneous internal bleeding, and blood clots and malignancies are formed.
-Suspected to be incorrect.
Rationale: The comma is not needed and disrupts the sentence structure.

(E) Spontaneous internal bleeding, along with the formation of blood clots and malignancies, are what make the post-heart transplant recovery process risky.
-Suspected to be incorrect.
Rationale: This option lessens the impact of the considerable risk associated with the post-heart transplant recovery process. A description of the level of risk is needed.

[quote="Bunuel"]Spontaneous internal bleeding and the formation of blood clots and malignancies present considerable risk during the post-heart transplant recovery process.

(A) Spontaneous internal bleeding and the formation of blood clots and malignancies present considerable risk during the post-heart transplant recovery process.
...internal bleeding and the formation of ... present considerable risk during the ... recovery process.
grammar correct. clear meaning. keep A

(B) The reason the post-heart transplant recovery process presents a considerably risk is because of spontaneous internal bleeding and the formation of blood clots and malignancies.
the reason and because of : redundant error. B out

(C) A considerable risk is presented during the post-heart transplant recovery process, where internal bleeding is spontaneous and the formation of blood clots and malignancies.
where is incorrect since "the ...recovery process" is not a place
"and the formation of blood clots and malignancies" => suppose and + clause, this phrase lacks of verb.
C out

(D) The post-heart transplant recovery process presents a considerable risk due to the fact of spontaneous internal bleeding, and blood clots and malignancies are formed.
"due to the fact of" redundant, wordy
due to the fact of + Noun => "blood clots and malignancies are formed." - a clause => incorrect
Or "and blood clots and malignancies are formed." is an independent clause connected to main clause by "and" => distort the meaning
D out

(E) Spontaneous internal bleeding, along with the formation of blood clots and malignancies, are what make the post-heart transplant recovery process risky.
Spontaneous internal bleeding is singular subject => singular verb => "are" incorrect. also make => should be "makes"
"along with the formation of blood clots and malignancies" = noun modifier, does not create compound subject
E out

(A) Spontaneous internal bleeding and the formation of blood clots and malignancies present considerable risk during the post-heart transplant recovery process.
The plural subject "Spontaneous internal bleeding and the formation of blood clots and malignancies" correctly takes the plural verb "present". And the intended meaning of the sentence is clear. Let's keep this option.

(B) The reason the post-heart transplant recovery process presents a considerably risk is because of spontaneous internal bleeding and the formation of blood clots and malignancies.
The use of both "reason" and "because" in the sentence is unwarranted. Redundancy. Can be eliminated.

(C) A considerable risk is presented during the post-heart transplant recovery process, where internal bleeding is spontaneous and the formation of blood clots and malignancies.
Use of "where" is incorrect. "where" is used to refer to physical location. Eliminate this option.

(D) The post-heart transplant recovery process presents a considerable risk due to the fact of spontaneous internal bleeding, and blood clots and malignancies are formed.
"Comma + and" just after bleeding makes it two independent sentence. The meaning of the sentence is changed. The intended meaning of the sentence is that Spontaneous internal bleeding and the formation of blood clots and malignancies present potential risk during the post recovery process. The meaning of option D is that Only spontaneous internal bleeding presents potential risks during the post recovery process. Eliminate this option.

(E) Spontaneous internal bleeding, along with the formation of blood clots and malignancies, are what make the post-heart transplant recovery process risky.
Subject-Verb don't agree. The use of "along with" makes "Spontaneous Internal bleeding" singular. Therefore we can eliminate this option.

The correct answer is Option A.

no parallel structure after where

(D) The post-heart transplant recovery process presents a considerable risk due to the fact of spontaneous internal bleeding, and blood clots and malignancies are formed.
due to the fact of - incorrect

(E) Spontaneous internal bleeding, along with the formation of blood clots and malignancies, are what make the post-heart transplant recovery process risky.

subject-verb dis-agreement :p

Hence A will be m pick :)

Spontaneous internal bleeding and the formation of blood clots and malignancies present considerable risk during the post-heart transplant recovery process.

(A) Spontaneous internal bleeding and the formation of blood clots and malignancies present considerable risk during the post-heart transplant recovery process.

(B) The reason the post-heart transplant recovery process presents a considerably risk is because of spontaneous internal bleeding and the formation of blood clots and malignancies.

(C) A considerable risk is presented during the post-heart transplant recovery process, where internal bleeding is spontaneous and the formation of blood clots and malignancies.

(D) The post-heart transplant recovery process presents a considerable risk due to the fact of spontaneous internal bleeding, and blood clots and malignancies are formed.

(E) Spontaneous internal bleeding, along with the formation of blood clots and malignancies, are what make the post-heart transplant recovery process risky.


Explanation:
The original sentence looks grammatically sound as it correctly uses the SV agreement rule i.e. Subject is 'Spontaneous internal bleeding and the formation of blood clots and malignancies' and verb is 'present' which is the plural form of 'to present'. Let's keep the original choice.

(A) Spontaneous internal bleeding and the formation of blood clots and malignancies present considerable risk during the post-heart transplant recovery process.
Let's keep this choice for the reasons explained above.

(B) The reason the post-heart transplant recovery process presents a considerably risk is because of spontaneous internal bleeding and the formation of blood clots and malignancies.
This option changes the structure of the sentence and adds unnecessary words. Also 'considerably' is wrong. Either it should have been 'presents a considerable risk' or 'presents a risk considerably'. INCORRECT

(C) A considerable risk is presented during the post-heart transplant recovery process, where internal bleeding is spontaneous and the formation of blood clots and malignancies.
This option is completely flawed. Not only it changes the sentence structure and alters the intended meaning, it also awkwardly concludes the sentence. After the comma the clause is missing a verb for the 'formation of blood clots and malignancies'. INCORRECT

(D) The post-heart transplant recovery process presents a considerable risk due to the fact of spontaneous internal bleeding, and blood clots and malignancies are formed.
This option changes the structure of the sentence and adds unnecessary words. Also use of 'fact of' is incorrect. INCORRECT

(E) Spontaneous internal bleeding, along with the formation of blood clots and malignancies, are what make the post-heart transplant recovery process risky.
This option is a trap choice. The sentence structure may look correct initially but the SV agreement rule is violated here. In the clause after comma, the subject is 'what' which is singular and hence verb used should have been 'makes' instead of 'make'. the correct phrase should have looked like 'Spontaneous internal bleeding, along with the formation of blood clots and malignancies, is what makes the post-heart transplant recovery process risky'.
INCORRECT

Option A is the correct choice.

(A) Spontaneous internal bleeding and the formation of blood clots and malignancies present considerable risk during the post-heart transplant recovery process.
Correct Option.

(B) The reason the post-heart transplant recovery process presents a considerably risk is because of spontaneous internal bleeding and the formation of blood clots and malignancies.
"The reason .... because" is wrong and redundant.

(C) A considerable risk is presented during the post-heart transplant recovery process, where internal bleeding is spontaneous and the formation of blood clots and malignancies.
Does not show cause-effect relationship.

(D) The post-heart transplant recovery process presents a considerable risk due to the fact of spontaneous internal bleeding, and blood clots and malignancies are formed.
"due to the fact" requires the usage of "that".

(E) Spontaneous internal bleeding, along with the formation of blood clots and malignancies, are what make the post-heart transplant recovery process risky.
We require the singular verb "is" rather than "are".

Answer Option A.

(A) This is a grammatically correct sentence and also makes logical sense. Hence this is the correct answer.

(B) This is an unnecessarily stretched sentence. It can be also framed as:- "The post-heart transplant recovery process presents a considerable risk because of spontaneous internal bleeding and the formation of blood clots and malignancies." by removing "the reason". Hence wrong option.

(C) "where internal bleeding is spontaneous and the formation of blood clots and malignancies." this part does not make sense. It conveys:- "where internal bleeding is spontaneous and where the formation of blood clots and malignancies." This is an incomplete statement and does not make sense. Hence wrong option.

(D) "the fact of" is unnecessary, also it is incorrectly used here. There are two facts that cause risk in the process but "due to fact of" suggests a singular fact.

(E) Here the subject is only:- "Spontaneous internal bleeding" which is singular. So the use of "are what make ....." is clearly wrong. Hence wrong option.

Parallelism is wrong because "internal.. is spontaneous" is a clause & "the formation.. malignancies" is a phrase. Also, Bleeding is spontaneous presents awkward meaning.

Due to = caused by
That means in this option, process presents a risk caused by the fact? Doesn't make much sense.

Quote:
(E) Spontaneous internal bleeding, along with the formation of blood clots and malignancies, are what make the post-heart transplant recovery process risky.

S-V error. Spontaneous bleeding - singular; are - plural verb.
Using "along with" doesn't change the plurality of the subject.

IMO OA should be A.

answer is A.

The intended meaning is to discuss the risks during the post heart-transplant recovery process.

options B, D and E miss the fact that the risks are presented DURING the recovery process. they instead imply that the recovery process presents the risk. so eliminate B, D and E.
A conveys the intended. grammar is fine too. hold on to A
the bleeding and formation of blood clots and malignancies are the things which present the risk. C doesn't mean that. Further, the part of the sentence after the comma is incomplete. A is definitely a better option. so, eliminate C

answer is A.

Let's look at the answer choices and eliminate one by one.

(A) Spontaneous internal bleeding and the formation of blood clots and malignancies present considerable risk during the post-heart transplant recovery process.
"Along with" would be a better suited clause to relay the intended meaning. Not the most concise answer. Eliminate.

(B) [color=#ff0000]The reason the post-heart transplant recovery process presents a considerably risk is because of spontaneous internal bleeding and the formation of blood clots and malignancies.
The correct adjective would be "considerable". Hence, incorrect.[/color]

(C) [color=#ff0000]A considerable risk is presented during the post-heart transplant recovery process, where internal bleeding is spontaneous and the formation of blood clots and malignancies.
The relative clause "where" is not appropriate to modify "recovery process". Incorrect.[/color]

(D) The post-heart transplant recovery process presents a considerable risk due to the fact of spontaneous internal bleeding, and blood clots and malignancies are formed.
Unidiomatic. Incorrect.

(E) Spontaneous internal bleeding, along with the formation of blood clots and malignancies, are what make the post-heart transplant recovery process risky.
Stylistically correct and logical. Keep.

B. Use of reason and because I the same sentence creates redundancy.

C. Heart transplant recovery process can't be a place, use of where is inappropriate.

For me, it came down to A vs. E and I chose A in the end.

"considerably risk" is wrong

Quote:
(C) A considerable risk is presented during the post-heart transplant recovery process, where internal bleeding is spontaneous and the formation of blood clots and malignancies.

"internal bleeding is spontaneous" is not parallel to "the formation of blood clots and malignancies"

Quote:
(D) The post-heart transplant recovery process presents a considerable risk due to the fact of spontaneous internal bleeding, and blood clots and malignancies are formed.

Again, "spontaneous internal bleeding" is not parallel to "blood clots and malignancies are formed"

Now between A & E, I didn't find anything immediately wrong with either of the two. E feels like the verb used should be "is" instead of "are", so I chose A

Quote:
(A) Spontaneous internal bleeding and the formation of blood clots and malignancies present considerable risk during the post-heart transplant recovery process.

(E) Spontaneous internal bleeding, along with the formation of blood clots and malignancies, are what make the post-heart transplant recovery process risky.

(A) Logicaly doesnt make sense as post-heart transplant recovery process presents a risk cause of internal bleeding...... . Not vice versa as stated in this option. Hence making this option incorrect.
(B) The use of 'considerably' is incorrect here. Hence making this option incorrect.
(C) transplant recovery process the formation of blood clots and malignancies. This doesnt make any logical sense as the process can result in the formation of blood clots. Hence making this option incorrect.
(D) This options seems to be correct with two independent clauses joined to make a grammatically correct and sensible sentence.
(E) 'are' does agree in number with 'Spontaneous internal bleeding'. Hence making this option incorrect.

Hence the suspected correct answer is (D).
