OG12 SC #28

by websiteidentity » Wed Jul 21, 2010 6:55 pm
Hi,
In OG 12, the 28th QS is as follows :

Building on civilizations that preceded them in coastal Peru, the Mochica developed their own elaborate society, based on cultivating such crops like corn and beans, the harvesting of fish and shellfish, and exploiting other wild and domestic resources.

The correct answer uses 'such ... as' instead of 'such ...like' as explained in the solutions. ( ANSWER = B)

But choice B doesn't the 3 items viz cultivating, harvesting and exploiting in parallel form.

I fell choice A could be a better answer despite the 'such ... like' construction.

What do u guys think ?

can u put the whole question with options

for giving example we use such as......instead of such like

A is wrong because of such like.....otherwise it maintains paralleism
