Part of the following sentence is underlined; beneath the sentence are five ways of phrasing the underlined material. Select the option that produces the best sentence. If you think the original phrasing produces a better sentence than any of the alternatives, select choice A.
Like machinery was integral to the development of industrial capitalism, so the rapid transfer of information is the force driving modern business.
Answer Choices
(A) Like
(B) Given that
(C) Since
(D) Just as
(E) Although
The correct answer is D
Explanation
Choice (D) is correct. It avoids the error of the original by replacing the preposition “Like” with the conjunction “as.” In this sentence, two clauses, “machinery was integral to the development of industrial capitalism” and “the rapid transfer of information is the force driving modern business” are being compared, so a conjunction is required to link them. A preposition cannot link clauses. The adverb “Just” here completes the correlative construction “Just as…. so….” and adds emphasis to the similarity between the two statements being compared.
下面是一道和SAT官方每日一题相似的题目,供大家练习:
Underestimating its value, breakfast is a meal many people skip.
Answer Choices
(A) Underestimating its value, breakfast is a meal many people skip.
(B) Breakfast is skipped by many people because of their underestimating its value.
(C) Many people, underestimating the value of breakfast, and skipping it.
(D) Many people skip breakfast because they underestimate its value.
(E) A meal skipped by many people underestimating its value is breakfast.
The correct answer is D
Explanation
Difficulty: Medium
The problem with this sentence is that the opening phrase "underestimating its value" modifies "breakfast," not "people." The order of the words in the sentence in choice (D) does not have this problem of a misplaced modifying phrase. Choice (D) also clarifies the causal relationship between the two clauses in the sentence. None of the other choices convey the information presented in the sentence as effectively and directly as choice (D).
