<p>ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONS</p>
<p>Explanation for Correct Answer B : </p>
<p>Choice (B) is correct. It avoids the error of the original by removing excess words.</p>
<p>Explanation for Incorrect Answer A : </p>
<p>Choice (A) involves wordiness. The phrase "is the reason why" adds nothing to the setence and so should be removed.</p>

<p>Choice (C) involves an improper idiom. "The reason for why" should be "the reason that."</p>
<p>Explanation for Incorrect Answer D : </p>
<p>Choice (D) is awkward and wordy. The phrase "As a result of economic hardship causing" should be reduced to the more precise and idiomatic "because economic hardship has been the cause of."</p>

C didn't get rid of the error "is the reason why" it just removed "becasue"
D puts --ing in the sentence and complicates it.
E sounds correct but B is not as lenghthy as E.</p>
