Why the “which is” can be omitted?
I am writing a scientific paper. And I wrote the sentence as follows:
The nominal prepreg tow height is about 0.15~0.20mm, which is much larger than the Resolution Z-axis (0.011mm). Furthermore, the tow gap nominal width is about 0.1mm~1mm, which is much larger than the Resolution X-axis (0.056mm).
However, my tutor supervisor advised me to remove the second marked "which is". I do not know why. Can anyone explain it to me? Thanks so much.
It might be simply that as a repetition of the previous pattern of thoughts, it can be abbreviated. As in "Steven eats the cake; Amy, the potato" instead of "Steven eats the cake; Amy eats the potato".
