Information Age

by showbu » Sat Jan 10, 2009 4:20 pm
One manifestation of the so-called "information-age" is a feedback effect in which, as faster and faster means of access to information are devised, the sheer amount of new information generated grows exponentially.

a. as faster and faster means of access to information are devised

b. by devising ever-increasingly fast access

c. as they devise means of access that are faster and faster

d. as faster and faster access becomes devised

e. as faster and faster means of access is devised

time for POE

a. as faster and faster means of access to information are devised

b. by devising ever-increasingly fast access

c. as they devise means of access that are faster and faster

d. as faster and faster access becomes devised

e. as faster and faster means of access is devised[/quote]

So E and C are gone but I still don't know how to analyze the remaining options :oops:

B is not correct beacuse

there is no "agent" who is devising as mentioned by "by"

also "devising" is not parallel with "grows"

can we have the OA pls
