It’s easy to get the grammar right. However, it’s challenging to write a sentence that elegantly deliverers the right information.
Read through the following passage [1], which has been broken into three parts. Choose the item that best completes the sentences. Each of the choices is grammatically correct; however, not all will work equally well. Before making your choices, consider the usage of clauses and phrases, and the flow of the entire passage, not just each individual sentence.
The fluid-structure-electrical interaction in the cochlea enables the basilar membrane, one of the most important structures in the cochlear partition, to display different dynamic patterns ____
- , which depend on the frequency content of the incoming sound.
- depending on the frequency content of the incoming sound.
- .The patterns depend on the frequency content of the incoming sound.
Interestingly, in a healthy cochlea the motion of the basilar membrane shows echoes upon an impulse acoustic stimulation delivered to the ear canal. The delay, duration, and shape of these echoes vary from one cochlea to another. A hypothesis that irregularities of the properties of the cochlear partition coherently scatter acoustic waves and generate echoes is examined. These irregularities are posited to arise, for example, from the damage of the sensory cells or the natural randomness in the morphology of the cochlear partition. Here we build a physiologically-based mathematical model to understand the echoes observed in experiments ____
- by introducing irregularity to the properties of the sensory cells.
- .We introduce irregularity to the properties of the sensory cells.
- ; the model introduces irregularity to the properties of the sensory cells.
We found that the patterns of the echoes depend on the individual profiles of the irregularities. Our work suggests that the ear canal recording ____ can be used as a non-invasive tool not only to diagnose the intracochlear damage but also to interpret these data given its idiosyncratic origin.
- correlating to the dynamics of the basilar membrane
- , which is correlated to the dynamics of the basilar membrane,
- , as is correlated to the dynamics of the basilar membrane,
