Plzz this is due in 42 mins Revise the following sentence to reduce the distance between the subject and predicate (main
verb) of the sentence:
The results of variation of the applied chromatographic conditions, such as the bulk solvent
composition, the concentrations and ratio of the acid and base additives, the presence of water as
mobile phase additive and the counter-ion concentration furnished a better understanding of the
retention mechanism.

A better revision of this sentence would be:

What furnished a better understanding of the retention mechanism were the results of variation of the applied chromatographic conditions, such as the bulk solvent composition, the concentrations and ratio of the acid and base additives, the presence of water as mobile phase additive and the counter-ion concentration.

Explanation:

If you take a look at the revised sentence, you will see that the predicate (furnished) is much closer to the subject of the sentence (the results). If we place the predicate at the beginning of the sentence, we still retain the main meaning of the sentence, while making it closer to the subject of the sentence. You should always avoid making big gaps between the subject and predicate in a sentence.

multiple settings

< > reasoning \ evidence < >

novels have multiple settings. a setting is a place or surrounding when a main event or event takes place. not everything happens in just one scene or setting. yes, there can be one *main* setting, but there is definitely not just one. b is incorrect. novels do not have limited characters. there are many characters in a novel, depending on how many the writer wishes to add in. c is incorrect. there is not just a single theme. there are many themes. another word for "theme" is the subject. there can be many subjects and topics. once again, there are many, depending on however many the author wishes to add or include. d is incorrect. yes, novels *can* have no solutions, based on what the author would like. but typically, novels have a solution. the solution might be in "book 5", but there is normally still a solution.
