Writing > Improving Sentences

Part or all of the following sentence is underlined; beneath the sentence are five ways of phrasing the underlined material. Select the option that produces the best sentence. If you think the original phrasing produces a better sentence than any of the alternatives, select choice A.  

Concerned that people will click to borrow an e-book from a library rather than click to buy it, library access to the e-book forms of most major U.S. publishers' titles is blocked.

Answer Choices

Right! (Applause.)

Explanation

Choice (D) is correct. It avoids the modification error of the original by placing the subject of the sentence ("most major U.S. publishers") directly after the modifying phrase ("Concerned that people will click to borrow an e-book from a library rather than click to buy it"). The original sentence illogically implies that "library access," rather than the "publisher," is "concerned."
