Hey Guys

Here is the question,

Just like the background in art history needed by an archaeologist in order to evaluate finds of ancient art, the nautical archaeologist needs specialized knowledge of the history and theory of ship design in order to understand shipwrecks.

•Just like the background in art history needed by an archaeologist in order to evaluate finds of ancient art, the
•Just as an archaeologist who needs a backgrounds in art history to evaluate finds of ancient art, a
•Just as an archaeologist needs a backgrounds in art history to evaluate finds of ancient art, so a
•Like the archaeologist who evaluate finds of ancient art and requires a backgrounds in art history, so the
•As evaluating find of ancient are requires an archaeologist who has a background in art history, so the

I can't understand why the second sentence can start by ''so a''

Any suggestions?
Many thanks

Hi lukaswelker,

GMAT SCs will test you on a few "2-part" phrases on Test Day. Some of them are common ("either…or….", "neither….nor….."), while some of them are rarer ("not only…..but also…..")

This SC is built around one of the rarer ones: "Just as….so….."

You should also keep in mind that 2-part phrases also involve parallelism rules, so the two "subjects" in the phrase must be comparable and be presented in the same format.

Here, the correct answer compares an archaeologist to a nautical archaeologist and uses the 2-part phrase "just as…so…"

**I assume the word "backgrounds" in answers B and C is a typo***

Final Answer: C
