Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Understanding the sentence structure.
The original sentence introduces a reason, but it is incomplete and needs clarification. The correct revision must provide a clear and grammatically correct structure.

Step 2: Analyzing the options.
- (A) This is an incomplete sentence and does not provide a clear connection.
- (B) This option is grammatically correct and adds clarity. It correctly expresses that Jason Schwartzman's performance is one reason among others.
- (C) This revision uses a semicolon incorrectly and doesn't provide a complete thought.
- (D) The phrase "the performance of Jason Schwartzman" makes the sentence awkward and wordy.
- (E) This option is too vague and incomplete.

Step 3: Conclusion.
Option (B) is the most appropriate choice because it connects the ideas properly and keeps the sentence clear and complete.
