Review: Two Brands


Explanation

Creating a filter: choice (A) sounds good, so we can move to eliminate the other answer choices.

Finding objective defects: choice (C) uses passive voice without need. Choices (B), (D), (E) all use "because of" and "due to." The phrases "because of" and "due to" both end with prepositions, so they properly introduce single nouns, not clauses. And we are dealing with a full clause here. The correct answer is (A).
