Test Taker Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 B is my pick. 'The capital of Bosnia-Herzegovina' should modify Sarajevo anf not Sarajevo's population.So A and E are out. C and D doesn't sound correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PennMI Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 It has to be "B"...."C" says 'with a population', but there is no "of" to make the rest of C correct... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simple27 Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 I think it's B. The dependent clause in choice C lacks a subject. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
