Question 31: Sentence 8. __________, noise pollution affects the human being, leading to irritation, loss of concentration, and loss of hearing.
Knowledge of reducing clauses with the same subject
*When two clauses have the same subject, we can reduce the proposition in two ways:
[Liên từ] S1 + V1 + ……, S1 + V2 + …….
+ If V1 has an active meaning: remove S1 from the first clause and return V1 to Ving form
+ If V1 has a passive meaning: remove S1 in the first part and return V1 to Vp2 . form
* Consider the answers:
A. Often neglected → Correct structure, because the verb “neglect” here has a passive meaning
B. Often it was neglected → False, because the verb “tobe” needs conjugation in the present simple
C. Often neglecting → Wrong structure, because the verb “neglect” here has a passive meaning
D. Often people neglected → False, because “neglect” is a transitive verb, it must be accompanied by an object, not standing alone like that.
Often ignored, air pollution has had serious effects on humanity, which has resulted in irritability, inability to concentrate, and loss of hearing.
