Brutal SC - 68

by nehakhas1 » Wed Jul 08, 2009 6:44 am
68. A recent poll indicates that many people in the United States hold a combination of conservative and liberal political views; i.e., they denounce the big government, saying government is doing too much and has become too powerful, while at the same time supporting many specific government programs for health care, education, and the environment.

A) they denounce the big government, saying government is doing too much and has become too powerful, while at the same time supporting

B) they denounce big government- they say that government is doing too much and has become too powerful-but supporting at the same time

C) they denounce big government, say that government is doing too much and it has become too powerful, while they support at the same time

D) while they denounce big government, saying that government is doing too much and has become too powerful, at the same time supporting

E) while they are denouncing big government- they say that government is doing too much and it has become too powerful-supporting at the same time

denounce ..supporting is not parallel

B) they denounce big government- they say that government is doing too much and has become too powerful-but supporting at the same time

C) they denounce big government, say that government is doing too much and it has become too powerful, while they support at the same time

say incorrectly modifies government


E) while they are denouncing big government- they say that government is doing too much and it has become too powerful-supporting at the same time

C) they denounce big government, say that government is doing too much and it has become too powerful, while they support at the same time

I think it is clear now.

A) they denounce the big government, saying government is doing too much and has become too powerful, while at the same time supporting
i FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD BE RIGHT OPTION AMONG ALL THE ANSWER CHOICES BUT I HAVE DOUBT REGARDING "saying government is doing"
I FEEL THAT THERE SHOULD BE A THAT AFTER SAYING..

B) they denounce big government- they say that government is doing too much and has become too powerful-but supporting at the same time
HERE "THEY" BEFORE say IS REDUNDANT, I THINK WE DON'T NEED THE SECOND that. ALSO I AM NOT AWARE OF ANY RULE OR SOMETHING FOR USING "-" IN THE SENTENCE. I KNOW THAT THEY ARE USED TO DESCRIBE SOMETHING.. BUT NEED ADVICE IF IT INTEND TO MEAN SOMETHING ELSE.

C) they denounce big government, say that government is doing too much and it has become too powerful, while they support at the same time
USAGE OF say IS NOT ACCEPTABLE IMO.
D) while they denounce big government, saying that government is doing too much and has become too powerful, at the same time supporting AWKWARD

E) while they are denouncing big government- they say that government is doing too much and it has become too powerful-supporting at the same time
AGAIN HERE "THEY" IS REDUNDANT
