It may someday be worthwhile to try to recover uranium from seawater, but at present this process is prohibitively expensive.
It may someday be worthwhile to try to recover uranium from seawater
Someday, it may be worthwhile to try and recover uranium from seawater
Trying to recover uranium out of seawater may someday be worthwhile
To try for the recovery of uranium out of seawater may someday be worthwhile
Recovering uranium from seawater may be worthwhile to try to do someday
(B) Incorrect. “Try and recover” is incorrect. The point is to try to recover; “try” and “recover” are not two different actions.
(C) Incorrect. For the following reasons:
“Recover x out of y” is incorrect. The correct idiom is “recover x from y”.
With this option, “this process” of the non-underlined part will refer to “trying to recover uranium”. Logically, “this process” should refer to “recover uranium”.
(D) Incorrect. For the following reasons:
The first error of option C
“To try to recover uranium” is much better than “to try for the recovery of uranium”, just as “to try to reduce weight” is much better than “to try for the reduction in the weight”. The first construction emphasizes the action that is being tried.
(E) Incorrect. “To do” is incorrect. If we replace ‘do’ with ‘recover’, the redundancy is evident. “Recovering …. to try someday” would work.
