Sound can travel through water for enormous distances, prevented from dissipating its acoustic
energy as a result of boundaries in the ocean created by water layers of different temperatures
and densities.

A. prevented from dissipating its acoustic energy as a result of
B. prevented from having its acoustic energy dissipated by
C. its acoustic energy prevented from dissipating by
D. its acoustic energy prevented from being dissipated as a result of
E. preventing its acoustic energy from dissipating by

Explanation for this answer is very good take away. OA and OE Later

Hi,
It has to be between C and E. But what is preventing its acoustic energy from dissipating is not clear in E. This issue is addressed in C.
Hence, C .

[Ozlemg]

IMO E

"As a result of" sounds incorrect to me. SO eliminate A, D
"prevented from having its acoustic energy dissipated by" long winded way to tell something and not clear. Eliminate B
"its acoustic energy prevented from dissipating by" prevented from is awkward. I think "prevent smt from" sounds more suitable. Eliminate C

Dear Frank,
Conditions at which water is present are influencing the increase in decrease of energy
energy is not preventing energy...

Example: Japan was hit with shockwaves of decreasing intensity as the energy of waves had been absorbed by water over their path from ocean's center to the coast.

Hi,
If we use preventing(verb+ing modifier), the modifier should modify the preceding clause but the conditions which you have stated come in the second clause. That is why I feel E is incorrect.

Those who answered C, did u consider the possibility of Run on Sentence ?

Hi,
Second part is not an independent clause. So, it is not run-on sentence.

It is not a run on sentence.Thats what even the post(above mentioned) says."is" verb is missing there.

Thanks guys
