(A) a result of exposure to a rich and wide range of words Correct

(B) resulting in exposure to a rich and wide range of words incorrect as resulting is modifying the previous clause

(C) a result from exposure to a rich and wide range of words Incorrect when result is used as noun, it is followed by preposition of and when result is used as verb, it is followed by preposition from

(D) an improvement because of exposure to a rich and wide range of words Incorrect as the general structure for using 'because of' is Clause + because of + Noun

(E) a result which is a consequence of exposure to a rich and wide range of words Incorrect because of redundancy a result and consequence of together are superfluous

I am big fan of EG Test series but equally a negative user of the answer choice explanation. Doesn't make me understand the things. Maybe a marketing gimmick

Hello Zitkin8,

We hope this finds you well.

To provide a bit of clarity, here is a detailed explanation to this question:

Meaning is crucial to solving this problem:
Understanding the intended meaning is key to solving this question; the intended meaning of the crucial part of this sentence is that a common reward of reading classic literature is an improvement in vocabulary, and this improvement is caused by exposure to a rich and wide range of words.

Concepts tested here: Meaning + Idioms + Awkwardness/Redundancy

• If "result" is used as a noun, the correct, idiomatic construction is "result+ of", and if "result" is used as a verb, the correct, idiomatic construction is "result" in of "result from".

A: Correct.
1/ Option A correctly uses the idiomatic construction "a result of", wherein "result" is a noun, conveying the intended meaning - that the improvement in vocabulary is caused by exposure to a rich and wide range of words.
2/ Option A is free of any awkwardness or redundancy.

B:
1/ Option B alters the meaning of the sentence through the phrase "resulting in exposure"; the construction of this phrase incorrectly implies that the improvement in vocabulary causes exposure to a rich and wide range of words; the intended meaning is that the improvement in vocabulary is caused by exposure to a rich and wide range of words.

C:
1/ Option C incorrectly uses the unidiomatic construction "result + from", wherein "result" is used as a noun; remember, if "result" is used as a noun, the correct, idiomatic construction is "result+ of".

D:
1/ Option D alters the meaning of the sentence through the phrase "an improvement because of"; the construction of this phrase produces an incoherent meaning; the intended meaning is that the improvement in vocabulary is caused by exposure to a rich and wide range of words.

E:
1/ Option E uses the needlessly wordy phrase "a result which is a consequence of", leading to awkwardness and redundancy; this phrase is redundant because "which is a consequence of" can be deleted without a loss of clarity or change in meaning.

Hence, A is the best answer choice.

We hope this helps.
All the best!
