Paraphrasing with the word, "extent"

Dear teachers,


Can I paraphrase "It is because of the extent to which growth has been sustained by real estate bubbles." as follows?

  • It is because of the extent that growth has been sustained by real estate bubbles.
  • It is because of the extent of growth sustained by real estate bubbles.

Thanks and best regards,


David Kim

It is because of the extent that growth has been sustained by real estate bubbles. This would be probably understood to mean the same, but it is an inferior way of saying it. It is because of the extent of growth sustained by real estate bubbles.
