(A) the financial success of the 1992 Olympic Games demonstrates that fact
(B) for example, the 1992 Olympic Games were financially successful
(C) like the financial success of the 1992 Olympic Games demonstrates
(D) a fact demonstrated by the 1992 Olympic Games, which were financially
successful
(E) as the financial success of the 1992 Olympic Games demonstrates
A and B each have a
comma splice: two complete sentences linked together by a comma. If a comma can be replaced with a period, eliminate the answer choice. Eliminate A and B.
In C,
like + subject + verb (
like the financial success...DEMONSTRATES) is always wrong.
Like is used to compare NOUNS, not actions. Eliminate C.
In D, it is not crystal clear what
fact is
demonstrated by the 1992 Olympic games. Also, the Games themselves were not financially SUCCESSFUL; the Games were a financial SUCCESS. The PEOPLE ASSOCIATED WITH THE GAMES were financially SUCCESSFUL. Eliminate D.
The correct answer is
E.
