Kaplan Premier SC # 17 Page 122.

In this year's negotiations, unionized workers will be fighting to improve job security in many industries, but will be seeking large wage increases in some other, as in the prospering telecommunications industry.

A. As in the prospering telecommunications industry

B. Such industries like telecommunications, which is prospering

C. As in that of the prospering telecommunications industry

D. as in the prospering telecommunications industry

E. as in an industry like telecommunications, which is prospering.



*******************

The correct answer is A, although I had chosen C.

Kaplan explains "That of in (C) is illogical: that can stand only for industry, and it doesn't make sense to talk about the industry of an industry."

Can someone provide a better explaination of this rule? Kaplan's isn't very clear to me.

I choose D
But both a and d are the same...

i think we are talking about industries here where the workers are seeking high wages and then it is followed by an example of the industry such as telecommunications
