erwin Posted December 5, 2005 Share Posted December 5, 2005 I agree with E. He gets a referrent 'Degler' and 'summarize' is parallel to 'constructs'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTG1983 Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 First, B n' D out, because "he" doesn't have a clear referent. C lacks parallelism and awkward. Between A n' E: In A "does..summarising" not parallel. Moreover "summerising" is used as a "noun" here. But the adverb "merely" can't modify "noun" So E. It's parallel: "does..summarise". It uses adverb "merely" to modify verb "summarise" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
