The first science-fiction novel, Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, actually contains very little science, but it masterfully explores the social and moral repercussions of what might happen if certain scientific advances were possible.
A. but it masterfully explores the social and moral repercussions of what might happen
B. but it explores in a masterful way the social and moral repercussions of what might happen
C. but, exploring the social and moral repercussions, it masterfully considers what might happen
D. but it masterfully explores repercussions, social and moral in nature, of what might happen
E. but it masterfully explores what are the social and moral repercussions
Correct Answer: A
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
This is the most concise, precise, and correct choice. Choice b is wordy, using the phrase in a masterful way instead of masterfully. Choice c uses awkward word order that requires the addition of a verb (considers) because explores is moved to before the subject. Choice d is wordy as the result of moving social and moral from their position directly before the noun they modify. Choice e awkwardly places what are after explores and deletes the important idea of possibility conveyed by of what might happen.
