social work education

by tarina » Mon Apr 26, 2010 6:43 pm
Rejecting the apprenticeship model of training social workers in philanthropic agencies, twentieth-century reformer Edith Abbott was convinced of social work education belonging in the university so that students could be offered a broad range of courses dealing with social issues.
(A) of social work education belonging in the university so that
(B) that social work education should be in the university, and that
(C) about the importance of social work education belonging in the university while
(D) that social work education belonged in the university, where
(E) of the necessity of social work education being in the university and

OA (D)
What's wrong with B?
Further, in (D) "belonged" means social work education had been done in the uni.
But it seems that the reformer wants to make a suggestion. Need help!

since belonged means the social work education had been done by this the Edith Abbott was convinced( means he is convinced in the way it was implemented)

should be means it was not implemented so no meaning of convinced.. so D is better than B

IMO
A belongs to B means "B owns A"
A belongs in/on B means "A is in the right place B"

We can't say the university owns social work education, but we can say, such education is rightly placed in the university.

Does it make sense?
:)

Choice B leads us to believe that the clauses (education being in the university, students being offered a broad range of courses) are on equitable terms, whereas, actually, the second part is a subset of the first part...Let me reword the sentence a bit to fit the choice B - Edith was convinced that social work should be in the university. And, he was also convinced that students could be offered a broad range of courses dealing with social issues. The 'and' is the spoiler, i think.

Whereas, with D, Edith was convinced that social work education belonged in the university, where students could be offered a broad range of courses dealing with social issues.

"Convinced of social work education belonging in the university" sounds weird
But I don't see how it is wrong either...

Need help again

IDIOM convinced...that ; rest all are unidomatic

B says: Convinced that...x should be here -->Should never goes with "Convinced that..."
D says: Convinced that...x be y, where students..

To me B should be preferable if should wouldn't have been there..

thing this way

there is a correct answer. for example, I LIKE HIS LEARNING ENGLISH

1, GMAC change grammar to make grammatically incorrect choices.

I LIKEs HIS LEARNING ENGLISH. "LIKEs" is wrong. it is easy to realize grammar error because it is mechanic

2, GMAC change meaning, distort meaning to make incorrect choices whose meaning is distorted or changed

I LIKE HIM LEARNING ENGNLISH

GMAC prefer to do 2) because this require you a very good reading capacity.

NEVER THINK WHY A CHOICE IS WRONG, BUT THINK WHY A CHOICE IS WRONG WHEN IT IS COMPARED WITH ANOTHER CHOICE. that is why if both choices are correct, take the choice which keep original meaning because other choice is considered changing the intended meaning.

GMAC do 2) by change: suject, object, adjective, adverb, noun....

a, chang object

"convinced of that...". object is clause

"convinced of noun" object is noun

GMAC distort meaning by change object from that-clause to noun.

b, change subject

" iliteracy costs USA 2 milion in lost industrial output"

"lost industrial output costs USA 2 milion by illiteracy" this is a question from OG11

c, change adjective

" costly requirement of irrigation system" -wrong

"requirement of costly irrigation system" -right. this is a question from OG11.

ARE YOU CONFIDENT WITH SC NOW? CAN YOU BE A TEST MAKER NOW. YES. WRITE A CORRECT SENTENCE AND CREATE 4 INCORRECT CHOICE THE WAY I SAID ABOVE

It is time to get 90 percentile on SC.
