that can be ...-ed > *able

Этот паттерн более типичен для ИТшных текстов, во всяком случае с медицинскими текстами этот фокус проходил намного реже (причину даю ниже):

• ... engineering your application to consist of nodes THAT CAN BE easily and automatically replacED > easily and automatically replaceABLE

• ... creates many opportunities for attackers looking for signals THAT CAN BE easily interceptED. > looking for easily interceptABLE signals

• I recommend creating a simple one- or two-page document ... in a format THAT CAN BE easily sharED with others > in an easily shareABLE format.

• There is a small amount of ctDNA for detection THAT CAN BE easily fragmentED. > easily fragmentABLE ctDNA

У этого приема есть нюанс (мне он чаще попадался в медицинских текстах). Если глагол с *ed идет с длинным прицепом, то мы рискуем получить двусмысленность, используя этот прием:

• A third antibody (AB3) that is added recognizes AB2 and is coupled to an enzyme that converts a suitable substrate to a product THAT CAN BE easily detectED by colorimetric or fluorescent optical methods. > to an easily detectable product by colorimetric .... methods

• With tumors in the lower neck and shoulder it is easy to forget the many possible origins of the anterior spinal artery THAT CAN BE easily obscurED by the overgrown vessels of a large tumor > ... obscureable ...
