<p>(C) is incorrect because the changes did not threaten anything.</p>

<p>First question:</p>

<p>They’re all wrong.</p>

<p>This is the first question:
Chinese gardens shrink natural landscapes to diminutive dimensions, for example, they often include miniature mountains complete with peaks, valleys, and streams</p>

<p>A.) dimensions, for example, they often include
B.) dimensions, an example is when they include
C.) dimensions, often including, for example,
D.) dimensions; for example, often including
E.) dimensions; including, as an example,</p>

<p>^C.</p>

<p>(These words have been added to satisfy the minimum word count)</p>

6

<p>^The answer is C, then.</p>

7

<p>Can someone explain to me why the answer is C?</p>

8

<p>Chinese gardens shrink natural landscapes to diminutive dimensions, often including mountains, X, Y, and Z.</p>

<p>Does that make you see better? The sentence is complete after the word “dimensions”.
I forget the names of these clauses or whatever, but here’s a simpler example:
She drove and hit a man on the road, thereby killing him.
These -ing verbs are ok to further describe the sentence even though the sentence is perfectly fine without it, or in another words, complete.</p>

<p>Okay I understand 18 now. What you trying to say is that the ing verbs are segment fragments and C is the right answer because it makes the rest of sentence dependent on tthe first part of the sentence?</p>
