Sorry about reposting the same question. I posted the previous one without logging in. Forgive me....
Hello, experts? How are you doing? I hope you are having a good time now. I hope you are not too busy...
I am back here because I've got something to ask you again.
It is about the position of 'such as...' phrase.
Would you read the following sentence?
1) Some marine species such as corals and kelps showed remarkable resilience to intense climatic impacts.
Then what about the next sentence?
2) Some marine species showed remarkable resilience to intense climatic impacts such as corals and kelps.
As far as I know, the phrase 'such as...' should be used right after the relevant umbrella term.
I hope I made myself understood... So we can say something like sentence No. 1.
But what about sentence No.2?
Could it be acceptable as well, on the ground that it is obvious that readers could naturally associate the 'such as...' phrase with 'some marine species' even though the phrase is not right next to it?
I think I'm asking a kind of irritating question. Sorry about that.
But I would very much appreciate it if you could help me to get clearer about this....
Thank you always for your precious time and kindness.
