Those who maintain that technology is negatively rewiring our brains have several common targets: GPS devices eroding our ability to conceptualize space, the many hyperlinks of the Internet driving us to distraction, and with our smartphones our working memory is impaired when doing something as fundamental as recalling a string of digits.
A) GPS devices eroding our ability to conceptualize space, the many hyperlinks of the Internet driving us to distraction, and with our smartphones our working memory is impaired
B) GPS devices erode our ability to conceptualize space, the Internet's many hyperlinks drive us to distraction, and our smartphones impair our working memory
C) with GPS devices our ability to conceptualize space is eroded, with the Internet's many hyperlinks we are driven to distraction, and with our smartphones our working memory is impaired
D) GPS devices erode our ability to conceptualize space, the Internet's many hyperlinks driving us to distraction and our smartphones impairing our working memory
E) the conceptualization of space is eroded with GPS devices, distraction is driven by the Internet's many hyperlinks, and working memory impairment results from our smartphones
[spoiler]
A. GPS devices eroding our ability to conceptualize space, the many hyperlinks of the Internet driving us to distraction, and with our smartphones our working memory is impaired
2 terms of list in active voice while one term is in passive voice.
flawed parallelism between the terms due to with.
D. GPS devices erode our ability to conceptualize space, the Internet's many hyperlinks driving us to distraction and our smartphones impairing our working memory
flawed parallelism between the terms erode, driving and impairing
E. the conceptualization of space is eroded with GPS devices, distraction is driven by the Internet's many hyperlinks, and working memory impairment results from our smartphones
here all three problems are caused by technologies, but they are structured or described as
one is done with sth
second is done by sth
third results from sth
The three terms are not parallel.
I'm stuck between B and C, chose B due to verbose nature of C. Can someone explain why B is wrong and how C is the right answer.[/spoiler]
