cette phrase est boiteuse


Explanation:
Je crois qu'ils veulent dire que cet exemple justifie leur choix. Mais ils s'expliquent très mal. Très alambiqué comme dirait Yves :-)

is explained by THIS example.


Explanation:
The reason the Alliance chose LMS is explained by this example.

In French, they say 'l'exemple" which is THIS in English here,


that's the grammar, of course, with no context for alliance and the other thing...

the grammar= any verb in French that it made into a reflexsive verb is generally translated as a passive construction INTo English
