2 Q's: The use of gravity waves,which do not interact wit

[applebees]

The use of gravity waves, which do not interact with matter in the way electromagnetic waves do, hopefully will enable astronomers to study the actual formation of black holes and neutron stars.

(a) in the way electromagnetic waves do, hopefully will enable
(b) in the way electromagnetic waves, do, will, it is hoped, enable
(c) like electromagnetic waves, hopefully will enable

The correct answer is (b). But I chose (c), because I think (b) is wordy, and incoherent. Why B is correct?

The federal government requires hospitals to tell a Medicare patient of their legal right to challenge their discharge if they feel they are being sent home prematurely.

(A) hospitals to tell a Medicare patient of their
(B) hospitals to tell Medicare patients that they have a
(C) hospitals to tell Medicare patients that there is a
(D) that hospitals tell Medicare patients of their
(E) that hospitals tell a Medicare patient that they have a

The correct answer is B, but I chose (d). Why B?

Thank you all
