andy31 Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 1. Crises in international diplomacy do not always result from malice; for nations, like individuals, can find themselves locked into difficult positions, unable to back down. (A) do not always result from malice; for nations, like individuals, can find (B) do not always results from malice; nations, just as individuals, finding © do not always results from malice; nations, such as individuals, can find (D) aren’t always the results of malice; nations in the same way that individuals can find (E) aren’t resulting always from malice; just like individuals who can find Can someone explain when to use like, just as, such as, in the same way ??

amit_ace Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 I think A crises are plural -this rules out b,c,d now in E crises are compared to indviduals which makes no sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dv_dheeraj Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 agree with you Amit result from is correct idiom rules out D in the same way that is wordy like is better in E second part becomes a sentence fragment. B has just as when like is required as we are comparing nouns. Similar problem with C hence A is the best answer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sourav106 Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 IMO A. Crises is plural so need a result..B C D are out... I think you must be confused with the usage of "for" . For cab be used as a conjunction which means because... In E we dont have a verb that can complete the sentence... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitzi Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 absolutely A. 1. Crises in international diplomacy do not always result from malice; for nations, like individuals, can find themselves locked into difficult positions, unable to back down. (A) do not always result from malice; for nations, like individuals, can find nation is appropriately compared to individuals. For can be used either a preposition or a conjunction which means 'because' ---> keep it (B) do not always results from malice; nations, just as individuals, finding just as should introduce a clause, not noun(s), no verb in this answer choice because finding is a present participle. © do not always results from malice; nations, such as individuals, can find (D) aren’t always the results of malice; nations in the same way that individuals can find (E) aren’t resulting always from malice; just like individuals who can find Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john333 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 A all the way.... B,C and D render crises erroneously singular... E : Crises aint individuals... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitzi Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 andy31, Can someone explain when to use like, just as, such as, in the same way ?? 1) Like vs. As Like : compare a noun(s) - generally compares a subject. i.e) compared to Del, Adrian sings better. As : compare clauses which consists of subject and verb i.e) As Del studies information system, Adrian studies management. 2) Just as Just as subject + verb, so subject+verb 3) Such as for provide examples. a) such as marketing b) such specialized areas as finance and economics such as can be used together a) or separated in b) 3) in the same way just as can be replaced by in the same way that~~~ Thanks.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
