grammar question from BB

<p>The poem's colorful images and its verbal wit [give the reader pleasure].
(A) give the reader pleasure
(B) please the one who is reading
(C) gives pleasure to the one who reads it
(D) give one pleasure in the reading of it
(E) gives one pleasure in reading it </p>

<p>Doesn't B make sense too?
i know that A sounds most correct but I need a logical reason for it
thx :)</p>

<p>B-E are too wordy. A is the most concise answer.</p>

<p>(A) and (B) are both grammatically sound. However, “one who is reading” is easily economized into “reader.” The verbosity of (B) makes (A) the better answer.</p>

<p>For all questions, you should pick the answer that is the most gramatically correct. If there are many answers that are gramatically correct, pick the answer that demonstrates the idea the clearest. If all the answers express the idea clearly, pick the answer that is the most concise.</p>

<p>“that is the most gramatically correct”</p>

<p>I wasn’t aware it was a matter of extent. :)</p>
