The gap in the ozone hole over the North Pole can expand each summer enough that it exposes regions as far south as Sweden by heightened UV radiation, also increasing rates of skin cancer in the northern regions by as much as 50 percent.

A. that it exposes regions as far south as Sweden by heightened UV radiation, also increasing

B. that regions as far south as Sweden have been exposed to heightened UV radiation, as well as having increased

C. to expose regions as far south as Sweden to heightened UV radiation, increased

D. to expose regions as far south as Sweden to heightened UV radiation and increase

E. that exposure to heightened UV radiation in regions as far south as Sweden, as well as increasing

OFFICIAL EXPLANATION



ANSWER: D

The construction “exposes . . . by heightened UV radiation” in A is unidiomatic. In B, the construction “that regions . . . have been exposed” makes “regions” the subject of the clause, and this does not work with the following clause, where it appears that the regions, rather than the radiation, are increasing rates of skin cancer. C and E both form sentence fragments. D is the clearest and most standard statement of the information.
