Reducing Relative Clauses with Participles (Advanced)

Advanced relative-clause reduction asks you to handle longer noun phrases, passive information, and active verbs that are not in a continuous tense. A clause like "Anyone who wishes to attend" becomes "Anyone wishing to attend", while "The evidence which was gathered during the investigation" becomes "The evidence gathered during the investigation." Both sentences are shorter, but the reduced phrase still gives essential information about the noun. This style is common in reports, articles, and academic explanations.

Accuracy depends on keeping all the meaning after the participle. If the original says published by the university, stored in the archive, or contributing their time to the project, those details belong in the reduced phrase. Active clauses use -ing; passive clauses use the past participle. Some advanced items also require you to preserve modality or recommendation language in the main clause, such as should register. Check that the final sentence still tells the reader who did the action and what happened to whom.
