A study of food resources in the North Pacific between 1989 and 1996 revealed that creatures of the seabed were suffering from dwindling food supplies, possibly a result from increasing sea surface temperatures during the same period.

A: that creatures of the seabed were suffering from dwindling food supplies, possibly a result from increasing

B: that creatures of the seabed were suffering because food supplies were dwindling, possibly as a result of an increase in

C: that creatures of the seabed were suffering because of food supplies, which were dwindling possibly as a result of increasing

D: creatures of the seabed that were suffering from food supplies that were dwindling, possibly resulting from an increase in

E: creatures of the seabed that were suffering because food supplies were dwindling, which possibly resulted from increasing

Answer is B

This question has been posted before, but in those posts choice (A) is different, second part of the sentence after comma:-

that creatures of the seabed were suffering from dwindling food supplies, possibly resulting from increasing

If choice (A) were written in the following manner:-

That creatures of the seabed were suffering because food supplies were dwindling, possibly a result from increasing.

Would this be correct ?

I have taken first part of the sentence from (B) and second part from (A).

Thanks & Regards

"A result from something" is not the idiomatically correct form. "A result of something" is correct.

However, when you use "resulting," the preferred form is "resulting from something." English idioms - definitely not always logical!

Hi ceilidh,

One doubt:
X resulted from Y
X is a result of Y
Are the above two constructions correct?

I am also trying to understand "a result" in Option A) and "as a result" in Option B)
Can you please highlight any differences. "a result" doesn't look fine but I am not able to pin point the issue.

Thanks,
Kinjal

Hey Guys ,

I am bit confuse here .

In option B "of" is missing it should not be "because of"

I am going through the Idioms list from Manhattan and it's mention "BECAUSE OF THE SUN, PLANTS GROW"

That's why i have rejected B option.

Pls correct me , if i am wrong.

Did you mean "In option B "of" is missing it should be "because of".

because is fine as because is conjunction and it requires a clause.
I failed in GMAT because I didn't practice SC properly

because of takes noun but modifies verb.
I failed in GMAT because of my insufficient practice of SC.
Here because of practice (stripping of the adjectives and prepositional phrase)

One more distinction is due to.

Due to modifies noun.
My failure in GMAT is due to insufficient practice of SC.

I think Option B) is perfect. But I have my doubts for Option A)
