A newfound substance derived from the leaves of the coralberry plant, which is highly potent in relaxing bronchial muscles, could offer new hope to asthmatics.


(A) A newfound substance derived from the leaves of the coralberry plant, which is highly potent in relaxing bronchial muscles, which is misused here, it modifies muscles instead of substence

(B) A newfound substance derived from the leaves of the coralberry plant, highly potent in relaxing bronchial muscles,I like this one. "highly potent in relaxing bronchial muscles" modifies substance here, although it is followed by a modifier, it is still fine to use it

(C) A substance derived from the coralberry leaves, newly found to be highly potent in relaxing bronchial muscles,this modifier distorts the meaning of the sentence

(D) A substance derived from the leaves of the coralberry plant, newfound and highly potent in relaxing bronchial muscles,again, the modifier distorts the meaning here.

(E) A newfound substance, highly potent in relaxing bronchial muscles derived from the leaves of the coralberry plant, what? muscles are derived from the leaves?? lol


The answer is B

This modification is incorrect. Coralberry plant is not highly potent rather it is the new substance that is highly potent.

(B) A newfound substance derived from the leaves of the coralberry plant, highly potent in relaxing bronchial muscles,- Correct choice. avoids all errors.

(C) A substance derived from the coralberry leaves, newly found to be highly potent in relaxing bronchial muscles,- Incorrect. changes the meaning.

(D) A substance derived from the leaves of the coralberry plant, newfound and highly potent in relaxing bronchial muscles,- Incorrect. newfound cannot modify the distant " substance". Hence this choice is incorrect.

(E) A newfound substance, highly potent in relaxing bronchial muscles derived from the leaves of the coralberry plant,- Incorrect. bronchial muscles are not derived from the leaves of coralberry plant.

A newfound substance derived from the leaves of the coralberry plant, which is highly potent in relaxing bronchial muscles, could offer new hope to asthmatics.


(A) A newfound substance derived from the leaves of the coralberry plant, which is highly potent in relaxing bronchial muscles,

Here “which is” seems to refer to “plant” while it’s the substance what is highly potent.

(B) A newfound substance derived from the leaves of the coralberry plant, highly potent in relaxing bronchial muscles,

Correct: both derived and highly potent seems to correctly refer to the substance.

(C) A substance derived from the coralberry leaves, newly found to be highly potent in relaxing bronchial muscles,

“newly found” seems to refer to “plant” and thus chages the intended meaning because it is the substance is newfound.

(D) A substance derived from the leaves of the coralberry plant, newfound and highly potent in relaxing bronchial muscles,

“newfound” seems to refer to “plant” and thus chages the intended meaning because it is the substance is newfound”.

(E) A newfound substance, highly potent in relaxing bronchial muscles derived from the leaves of the coralberry plant,

“muscles derived from the leaves” is illogical. Muscles cannot be derived from leaves”.

hence B
