Question #N406
A recent study found that spending time in nature can reduce stress and improve mood. However, it’s important to note that this effect isn’t always immediate. Spending time in nature can be a great way to de-stress, however, it may take some time for the benefits to become apparent. When the researchers repeated the experiment, they found that the participants who spent more time in nature reported feeling calmer and more relaxed a week after the experiment, rather than just immediately after.
Which choice best maintains the sentence structure and logical flow of the paragraph?Correct Answer is: C
The sentence uses a comma followed by a conjunction to separate two independent clauses. The correct answer is "Spending time in nature can be a great way to de-stress, but it may take some time for the benefits to become apparent." The conjunction "but" correctly indicates that the second clause presents a contrast to the first clause.
