ANSWER IS C
Clouds are formed from the evaporation of the oceans’ water that is warmed by the Sun and rises high into the atmosphere, condensing in tiny droplets on minute particles of dust.
A. Clouds are formed from the
evaporation of the oceans’ water that is
warmed by the Sun and
rises high into the atmosphere,
condensing in tiny droplets on minute particles of dust.
WRONG:- Lack of parallelism:- evaporation, warmed, condensing, rises none are parallel to each other.
B. Clouds form by the Sun’s warmth evaporating the water in the oceans,
which rises high into the atmosphere, condensing in tiny droplets on minute particles of dust.
WRONG:- Incorrectly placed ""which" modifies the ocean. It seems like the ocean itself rises high into the atmosphere. (Ocean's WATER rises high in the atmosphere.)
C. Warmed by the Sun, ocean water
evaporates,
rises high into the atmosphere, and
condenses in tiny droplets on minute particles of dust to form clouds.
PERFECT:- Parallel structures :- Evaporates, rises, condenses. Correctly placed phrases and modifiers. Crisp and clear meaning.
D. The water in the oceans evaporates, warmed by the Sun, rises high into the atmosphere, and condenses in tiny droplets on minute particles of dust, which
forms clouds.
WRONG:- Another almost perfect sentence EXCEPT that -
(1)
",warmed by the sun," cannot be bound by commas, as it is an
essential phrase need for the sentence to make sense. Here it is bound by commas which makes it
additional information that can be ignored.A ESSENTIAL PHRASE CANNOT BE CHANGED INTO AN ADDITIONAL PARENTHETICAL INFORMATION
(2) "Warmed by the sun" is modifier and is placed incorrectly after evaporates ..
.READ THE INCORRECT FROM --> The water in the oceans evaporates, warmed by the Sun, rises ......
READ THIS CORRECT FORM--> The water in the oceans, warmed by the sun evaporates, rises and .......... -
. E. Ocean water, warmed by the Sun, evaporates and rises high into the atmosphere, which then condenses in tiny droplets on minute particles of dust to form as
clouds.
WRONG:- "Which" is modifying atmosphere. It seems that atmosphere is condensing into clouds. (Ocean Water is condensing into clouds)
