Show SpoilerMy question
In regards to this question I have a few questions:
The increasing of risks of failure.
Is the -ing form + of always an incorrect form grammatically ?
Knewton explains D and E as follows:
Choices D and E use because, which introduces a subordinate clause. However, the second part of the sentence does not make sense as a subordinate clause; the second sentence pattern becomes a fragment..
Is this (below) the right understanding ?
...who advised that (is an dependant clause).... because of increasing risk (because introduces another dependent clause)?
If you pick E, is the structure of the entire sentence.
The courier (subject) hired (main verb)=> Independent clause + dependent clause + dependent clause ?
Is this above a structurally grammatical error ?
how are the rules,
For example is it ok to structure a sentence: dependent + independent + dependent ?
can someone please help me with this , thanks in advance

We don't teach with these fancy subordinate clauses, but here's how we think through it:
"the increasing of risks" is automatically a RED FLAG idiom.
It should be either:
increasing risk (C)
or
increasing risks (B)
But how do we know which one? Is it singular or plural?
Well, look further into the sentence for the keyword: "has prompted"
So you know it must be singular, NOT plural.
So between (B) and (C), you choose "increasing risk" (singular) HAS prompted.
And that's it. Choose (C). Not too much thinking required.
