tieuphong Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 I chose E too. Among all the incomprehensible answers, I chose the one that is the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philospher57 Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 IMO E,but cant explain why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NedDorsey Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 I went with E also. A) I dont like the ",and...and" construction B) I dont like the ",and...and" construction C) not bad but may allude to the cooked quality of meat (ie "well done" or "rare," how funny...) D) need a conjunction such as "with" E) ticks all the boxes, my answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skuchkarov Posted July 28, 2006 Author Share Posted July 28, 2006 Yup guys, OA is E. Explanation: The diet was "largely", not wholly, vegeterian. "with meat as a rarity" is a gramatically correct expression that further explains the main clause of this sentence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
