I second that...!!!

the best part is that the explanations of Stacey are just too simple to understand.......have great detpth...and whatever Stacey writes....we can accept the same blindly.

And that is not only related to SC explanations...that is the same with all the areas...whereever Stacey writes....CR,RC, GMAT strategy etc. etc....

Stacey, pls, help with a problem ralative

this is question 70 in OG11

Displays of the aurora barealis, or "nouthern lights", can heat the atmosphere over the Arctic enough //to affect the trajectories of ballistic missiles, include// electric currents that can cause blackouts in some areas and corrosion in north-south pipelines

a,

b, that the trajectories of ballistic missiles are affected, induce

c, that it affects the trajectories of ballistic missiles, induces

d, that the trajectories of ballistic missiles are affected and induces

e, to affect the trajectories of ballistic missiles and induce

the exlanation is " the conjuction and is necessary to show that the two effects are equal and separate.When they(2 verbs) are saparated only by a comma, the second effect appears to be part of the first one, which is not true?

I am not clear the meaning implied when 2 verbs is separated by a comma (the second verb not ending in "ing"), pls, explain more

so, we have 2 verbs can be separated by " comma+ing", "comma +and" and "comma+do2". is that right we have 3 cases

sory we have 3 case "comma+ing", "and do 2" and "comma+do2"

the second case dose not have comma

Hi Stacey,

Sorry could not get this...

Do you mean to say tell more about the noun/noun phrase preceding the appositives ?

What do you mean by name/rename can you please elaborate a bit ?

Thanks

thank you Stacey. I am grateful to you

the question is correct as I wrote it.

OG said that "when they (2 verbs) are separated only by a comma, the second effect appears to be part of the first one,..."

pls, explain to me the meaning when 2 verbs are separated by only a comma. pls, see the Og explanation

pls, explain to me the meaning of the construction : " do 1 and do 2 " and "do 1 , doing 2"

we have 3 constructions. pls explain.

what is the case with "without comma + prepostion"....does it modifies the

a) immediately preceding noun.
b) verb of the clause.
c) entire clause.

Could be anything - you have to check based upon the context.

The cat on the bed is asleep. --> "on the bed" modifies the noun "cat"

The class was taught by me. --> "by me" modifies the verb "taught" (or you can think of it as the entire clause "the class was taught" - generally, because adverbial modifiers modify the action, you can think of that as either the verb or the whole clause)

Hi Stacey,

Many thanks for telling about the without comma + preposition modifier....

Can you please tell what is the case with hyphen modifier...does it modify the

a) immediately preceding noun.
b) verb of the clause.
c) entire clause.

Most often, hyphen modifiers are noun modifiers, but I would really need to see the specific example.

Also, hyphens are not very common on the test.

Hi Stacey,

Kindly look at the following thread please...where hyphen is tested:

The dog, a Golden Retriever, is yellow.

"a Golden Retriever" is an appositive - it's a noun that "renames" the word "dog" (in this case, telling us what kind of dog).

The Golden Retriever, a dog with a yellow coat, is a popular breed.

"a dog with a yellow coat" is an appositive. This time, it's defining "A Golden Retriever."

Thanks a lot Stacey...I too had the same thought....basically noun modifier(Appositive) tells more about the noun adjacent to it...

It may rename it...or can tell more about the same.....
