I was rather confused about the word"also" in option A. For me, it is a strong indication that "established" and "made" are parallel, thus making the whole sentence incomplete. That's all the reason why I rule A out. So here why don't we take this factor into considerat...

I'm also confused about the function of the " , -ing" structure. Which part of the sentence can it modify,the subject, the preceding verb or the whole sentence? As you can see in this SC question, I think C is quite OK ,for it clearly uses the ", -ing" structure to modify the situatio...

What is the difference between C and E? Can we discard E because it does not have "in"? In other words, because it is not parallel with "In no other..."? it's actually ambiguous. the ambiguity is hard to see, especially because this choice comes last (so that the correct meaning...

Two main splits: (1) "Less than 35 years after" vs. "In less than (the) 35 years since." Not only is (A) 1 or 2 words shorter in this split, but the extra words in (B) and (C) don’t really serve a purpose. "In" is not necessary, as the meaning in all three is that within 35 years, the migration ...

Scientists have made genetic modifications to cotton to increase its resistance to insect pests. According to farmers’ report, the amount of insecticide needed per acre to control insect pests was only slightly lower for those who tried the modified seed than for those who did not. Therefore, since ...

wots the OA ?? Hey guys, there are always disputes between B and E. for the B-supporters, they seem to regard the modified seed as one of the other crops.Were it the case,then everything would just make sense.But...u know,it's just a little hard for me to think that way... As for D,I think you've e...

If the "they" in " since they were developed more than 50 years ago." refers to the "Industrialization and modern methods of insect control ",isn't it a little bit weird to choose B? The use of the "that" clause to modify chemical pollutants makes me feel that...

As a result of a supernova explosion, every human being on Earth was bombarded on February 23, 1987, by about 100 billion neutrinos; fortunately, neutrinos are harmless elementary particles that are produced in nuclear reactions and that interact very weakly with matter.

C. as a substitute for four quarters more than for the dollar bill because it weighs only 8.1 grams, far less than four quarters ...it weighs only 8.1 grams, far less than four quarters How can we justify weight comparision here. I think literal meaning here is "8.1 grams is far less than four...

I wonder if the expression" As any star of similar mass would" in D is right. shouldn't we add sth such as" As any star of similar mass would do "? besides,I have heard that when u use the "as-clause" structure, it's important to keep the two verbs( one in the as-clause...
