The reason
why producing reams of spider silk - a material stronger than steel but lighter than silk - is not a possibility not so much that nature has too few spiders producing the silk or that spiders produce silk too slowly as that putting too many spiders in close proximity makes them territorial and inclined to kill one another.
A. why producing reams of spider silk - a material stronger than steel but lighter than silk - is not a possibility not so much that nature has too few spiders producing the silk or that spiders produce Removing the non-essential modifier, we end up with the following sentence:
nkhl.goyal
The reason why producing reams of spider silk is not a possibility not so much that [...]
The sentence is missing a verb. It should read as follows:
nkhl.goyal
The reason why producing reams of spider silk is not a possibility
is not so much that [...]
B. why it is not possible to produce reams of spider silk - a material stronger than steel but lighter than silk - is not so much that nature has too few spiders that produce the silk or that spiders produceLooks good.C. for low possibility to produce reams of spider silk - a material stronger than steel but lighter than silk is as much as nature having too few spiders producing the silk or that spiders producing1)"The reason for low possibility" doesn't make sense.. It should be "The reason for
the low possibility"
2) Even if we wanted to say "The low possibility", the sentence would read -> The reason for the possibility
OF PRODUCING3)"Is as much as nature having" is just awful and should make it an immediate elimination
D. why production of reams of spider silk - a material stronger than steel but lighter than silk - is not possible is because nature has too few spiders that produce the silk or spiders produceNot parallel. Should be nature has too few spiders
that...or spiders
thatBut even if it were parallel, the idiom "Not so much that .... as that" should be used to establish the contrast/meaning the sentence clearly intends.
E. why producing reams of spider silk is not a possibility - a material stronger than steel but lighter than silk - is not so much that nature has too few spiders that produce the silk or that spiders produceModifier error. The portion in the parenthetical should follow immediately after what it modifies: spider silk.
