Please explain

Hi Paul,


1. Furthermore, she points out that as a result of this species that do not need much light will invade their natural habitat .

Q: Is phrase " as a result of this species " subject of " will invade their natural
habitat" ?.


He describes how uses of coal include alumina refining, paper manufacturing, chemical production and the pharmaceutical industry.

Q: I think a word "uses" is incorrect! ....... . It must be " how to use coal
include alumina..................industry".


Thank you very much, Paul

Mike

Re: Please explain

Your first sentence does not make sense. You will have to re-write it differently.

In you second sentence, I think it should be:

He describes the uses of coal, including alumina refining, paper manufacturing, chemical production and the pharmaceutical industry.

I've punctuated your sentence correctly and now it makes sense:

The preposition phrase "as a result of this" is an adjunct of reason. It gives the reason that species that do not need much light will invade their natural habitat.
