In this year's negotiations, unionized workers will be fighting to improve job security in many industries, but will be seeking large wage increases in some other, as in the prospering telecommunications industry.

A. As in the prospering telecommunications industry

D. as is the prospering telecommunications industry

The correct answer is A, but i am confused between A & D. Kindly suggest

X will be seeking large wage increases IN SOME OTHER, as IN the prospering telecommunications industry (comparison is between INDUSTRIES)

...IN A, AS IN B

In other words, the intention is to suggest that WORKERS WILL BE SEEKING WAGE INCREASE IN SOME OTHER INDUSTRIES, AS (THEY WILL BE DOING) IN TELECOME INDUSTRY.

In D, we have:

WORKERS WILL BE SEEKING WAGE INCREASE IN SOME OTHER INDUSTRIES, AS (WORKERS) IS PROSPERING TELECOME INDUSTRY

Here, we are comparing WORKERS demand for wage increase with WORKERS is industry (illogical)

Hi anshulagarwal12,

In choice (D), the telecommunications industry is fighting to improve job security; this doesn't make sense, as the workers of that industry are fighting, but the industry as a whole is not. For that reason, (D) can be ruled out and (A) is correct!

Regards,

i don't see but(coordinating conjunction)used correctly. books say we need to have a subject in the second clause as well otherwise the sentence will be wrong.

i have doubts on the following sentences-
1.The doctor finished the shot, and then he removed the restraining wires.(does "then" along with "and" affect the second clause.is the sentence correctly written?)
2aShe could taste blood in her mouth, but could not feel the right sideof her face.
or
2bShe could taste blood in her mouth but could not feel the right side of her face.(which one of these sentences is correct? the original sentence (In this year's negotiations, unionized ......., but will be seeking large ...),i think,is like 2a,and the 2b is correct according to the books for sure.

Hi 7777,

I got your private message, but I can't quite tell what you need help with; can you clarify?

Thanks!

In general, when 2 independent clauses are connected, you necessarily use comma in between. In case of But you use comma even if the second part is not a complete clause to show thee contrast.

Coordinating Conjunctions in general any 2 parts of the sentence. Nouns/adj/phrase/clause

is there any other exeption too?
i want to go to placeX,BUT will go to place Z too.(I guess the sentence is properly written with the use of comma)
AB FONSY which other coordinating conjunction sometimes violate the general rule as well.

Hi 7777,

I think you're right that the coordinating conjunction, not underlined, might be misused; I'll see about getting it fixed!
