Grammar
TWO "OR" in a sentence
I am doing some grammar exercises,
Anyone could help to point out why the second one is correct?
1(wrong)
As most of the province is too rugged or [soils are too thin or infertile], Nova Scotia is able to devote less than five percent of its total land area to agriculture.
2(correct)
As most of the province is too rugged or [has which are too thin or infertile], Nova Scotia is able to devote less than five percent of its total land area to agriculture.
