Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
The Gunning Fog Index is a readability metric used to estimate the years of formal education required to understand a piece of writing. It is calculated using two main factors: the average sentence length (words per sentence) and the percentage of complex words. Therefore, it directly measures the average length of words and sentences in documents to assess text complexity.
