Let's say that January 1, 1900 = the release of the bees.john83.amar wrote:My guess was C,but official answer is A. Can anyone explain why C is wrong?
A: 35 years after the release of African honeybees
Here, 35 years after the release implies January 1, 1900 + 35 years = January 1, 1935.
C: 35 years since African honeybees HAD BEEN RELEASED
Since January 1, 1900 = the release of the bees, on January 1, 1950, the bees HAD already BEEN RELEASED.
Thus, 35 years since African Honeybees HAD BEEN RELEASED could imply January 1, 1950 + 35 years = January 1, 1985.
Not the intended meaning.
Eliminate C.
