I received a PM about this thread.
While I applaud your search for greater understanding, I prefer not to comment on sentences written by BTG members.
Since this forum is not about grammar in general but about SCs on the GMAT, I prefer to limit my comments to actual SCs.
Private tutor exclusively for the GMAT and GRE, with over 20 years of experience.
Followed here and elsewhere by over 1900 test-takers.
I have worked with students based in the US, Australia, Taiwan, China, Tajikistan, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia -- a long list of countries.
My students have been admitted to HBS, CBS, Tuck, Yale, Stern, Fuqua -- a long list of top programs.

As a tutor, I don't simply teach you how I would approach problems.
I unlock the best way for YOU to solve problems.
