Because
1. I am going to study hard because I need to pass the exam.
2. I am going to study hard.
That is because I need to pass the exam.
I don't understand the structure of the underlined sentence. The "because clauses" in the underlined sentence and the sentence #1 are the same, but in sentence #1 the first clause has a subject and a predicate whereas in the underlined sentence "that is" is the first clause and it doesn't have a predicate.
Is the underlined sentence grammatically correct ?

Okay, I got that one. But I have got another question.
"It was because of his injury that he failed to qualify."
Here "it" is a provisional subject representing the noun clause "that he failed to qualify".
