Question

read this text.
two phytochemicals in ginger—gingerol and shogaol—are seen as helpful for reducing nausea and improving digestion.
is this an appropriate use of an ellipsis?
\two phytochemicals in ginger... for reducing nausea and improving digestion.\
yes
no, because the text with an ellipsis is no longer grammatically correct

Explanation:

In the original text, "Two phytochemicals in ginger—gingerol and shogaol—are seen as helpful for reducing nausea and improving digestion." is a complete and grammatically correct sentence. When we use an ellipsis like "Two phytochemicals in ginger... for reducing nausea and improving digestion.", the part that was removed ("—gingerol and shogaol—are seen as helpful") is crucial for the sentence structure. Without it, the sentence "Two phytochemicals in ginger... for reducing nausea and improving digestion." is not grammatically correct as there is a lack of a verb and proper connection between the subject ("Two phytochemicals in ginger") and the rest of the sentence. Ellipses should be used when omitting non - essential words that do not disrupt the grammatical structure of the sentence. Here, the omitted part is essential for the sentence's grammar.

Answer:

no, because the text with an ellipsis is no longer grammatically correct
