tathagat_mbakid Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Doctors in the early twentieth century commonly mistook endometriosis as simple menstrual cramps and informed women that there was no medical cure for their condition. A)endometriosis as simple menstrual cramps B)endometriosis for simple menstrual cramps C)simple menstrual cramps for endometriosis D)endometriosis to be simple menstrual cramps E)endometriosis and simple menstrual cramps Guys what is your opinion OA is B IMO C is right.

andy31 Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 IMO B mistook A for B should be correct so they mistook endometriosis for simple menstural cramps not the simple menstrual cramps for endometriosis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogesh_kkk Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 mistook x for Y is correct idiom B is correct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tathagat_mbakid Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 Guys! Why would women ask for a cure for simple menstrual cramp. And why would a doctor give a cure for the same??? If you consider C, then : Doctors would give a cure for only endometriosis, but unfortunately they did not have a cure for the same. Hence they "informed women that there was no medical cure for their condition." Everything sounds logical here... If you consider B: If the doctors mistook endometriosis for simple menstrual cramps, then, they would have informed the woman that she simply suffers from SMCramps and she can go back home and relax(or probably give her some pain killer).Why would they tell her that there is no medical cure for her treatment? I believe that the doctors did not have any cure for endometriosis! Hence Answer should be C ! Do you see my point??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bholebaba Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I think I agree with tathagat_mbakid. IMO it should be C. B and C both have the correct usage, Mistook X for Y and logically C makes more sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makumajon Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 Yes, it has to be C. The doctors have thought something simple to be something complex. So, they have mistook a simple thing for a complex thing. B is grammatically right, but conveys wrong sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
