OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
Laws concerning animal rights and welfare are frequently created or adapted on a regular basis since new cases of cruelty to animals are constantly being discovered.
A. frequently created or adapted on a regular basis since new cases of cruelty to animals are constantly being discovered
Not exactly.
Using both frequently and on a regular basis is redundant since they mean the same thing.
B. created or adapted on a regular basis since new cases of cruelty to animals is constantly being discovered
Not, that's not it.
Although this answer choice corrects the redundancy of the original sentence, it is grammatically incorrect. The plural subject cases of cruelty to animals does not agree with the singular verb is.
What helps us identify this mistake is the following Stop Sign:
- A subject in the form of X of Y
The X of Y subject is cases of cruelty to animals. In the case of an X of Y subject, the verb should agree with X - cases. Cases is plural, so the verb should also be plural. However, the verb is is singular.
C. created and adapted on a regular basis since new cases of animal cruelty are being discovered constantly
Not quite.
Although this answer choice corrects the redundancy of the original sentence by removing frequently, it changes its meaning by replacing or with and.
D. frequently created or adapted since new cases of cruelty to animals are being discovered all the time
Not quite.
Although this answer choice corrects the redundancy of the original sentence, it creates wordiness by replacing the single word constantly with the three-word phrase all the time.
E. created or adapted regularly since new cases of animal cruelty are constantly being discovered
Using both frequently and on a regular basis is redundant since they mean the same thing. This answer choice corrects the original redundancy by omitting the word frequently. Also, replacing the four-word phrase on a regular basis with the single word regularly makes this answer choice even more concise.
