Dr. Tonegawa from OG 11

by reply2spg » Sun Feb 21, 2010 3:33 pm
Dr. Tonegawa won the Nobel Prize for discovering how the body can constantly change its genes to fashion a seeming unlimited number of antibodies. each specifically targeted at an invading microbe or foreign
substance.

(A) seeming unlimited number of antibodies, each specifically targeted at
(B) seeming unlimited number of antibodies, each targeted specifically to
(C) seeming unlimited number of antibodies, all specifically targeted at
(D) seemingly unlimited number of antibodies, all of them targeted specifically to
(E) seemingly unlimited number of antibodies, each targeted specifically at

I know the OA for this question. However, I have a question that if I have a option such as

seemingly unlimited number of antibodies, all targeted specifically at

then which option is correct? E or whatever new option, which I have mentioned above

(A) seeming unlimited number of antibodies, each specifically targeted at - "targeted specifically" is more appropriate.
(B) seeming unlimited number of antibodies, each targeted specifically to -Use of "at" is more appropriate.
(C) seeming unlimited number of antibodies, all specifically targeted at
(D) seemingly unlimited number of antibodies, all of them targeted specifically to -Use of "at" is more appropriate.
(E) seemingly unlimited number of antibodies, each targeted specifically at - Laying emphasis on the word "targeted"-Appropriate

I know the OA for this question. However, I have a question that if I have a option such as

seemingly unlimited number of antibodies, all targeted specifically at

then which option is correct? E or whatever new option, which I have mentioned above
IMO E is more suited over here.

What's the OA - reply2spg ??

It takes time and effort to explain, so if my comment helped you please press Thanks button :)



Just because something is hard doesn't mean you shouldn't try,it means you should just try harder.

Thanks Harsh. Could you please explain why the new option is not correct here?

IT would be either "all of them"
or
it would be "each"

Use of only-"all" is not suited .

Thats why the new option is not suited.

In option 4,if in the end it was "at",then it would have been a close call.
