In technical documentation, which sentence correctly uses a past participle clause to reduce a passive relative clause?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Components manufactured in Slovenia undergo rigorous tensile testing
- Step 1: 'Components manufactured in Slovenia' is a reduced passive relative clause equivalent to 'Components that are manufactured in Slovenia'. Answer: Components manufactured in Slovenia undergo rigorous tensile testing. Why not the others: 'manufacturing' is an active present participle, 'which manufactured' lacks an auxiliary verb, and 'were manufactured' creates a run-on sentence with two finite verbs.
