Question

Sometimes a sentence is not understood by the reader although the vocabulary is known.
This may happen because the sentence is difficult to unravel syntactically. There are a
number of reasons why a sentence may be difficult to understand such as the use of
complex noun groups, nominalizations, participial phrases, and subordination.
Considering these examples, all the following alternatives are correct, EXCEPT:

Accepted Answer

Alternativa D: In the case of participial phrases, the problem is the fact that they are always used as adjective phrases to modify a
noun or a pronoun.

Answer

Alternativa A: A complex noun group consists of a head noun modified by adjectives or other words that may precede or follow it, and
it's often the modifiers that follow which give most trouble.

Answer

Alternativa B: Nominalizations are a major issue in academic texts and they can be associated with complex noun groups making the
sentence even more difficult to understand.

Answer

Alternativa C: Subordinate noun clauses are often troublesome because they can make it difficult for the reader to identify the subject
or the object of the sentence.
