legal limits

by Mayur Sand » Wed Jul 29, 2009 6:26 pm
There are no legal limits, as there are for cod and haddock, on the size of monkfish that can be caught, a circumstance that contributes to their depletion through overfishing.


A. There are no legal limits, as there are for cod and haddock, on the size of monkfish that can be caught, a circumstance that contributes to their depletion through overfishing.
B. There are no legal limits on the size of monkfish that can be caught, unlike cod or haddock, a circumstance that contributes to depleting them because they are being overfished.
C. There are legal limits on the size of cod and haddock that can be caught, but not for monkfish, which contributes to its depletion through overfishing.
D. Unlike cod and haddock, there are no legal size limits on catching monkfish, which contributes to its depletion by being overfished.

in C, Which can only refer to noun immediately preceding it, (monkfish) so is monkfish responsible for their own depletion ?
I am not sure how C is correct . Please explain.

I agree, must have been in sleep when I posted. C is clearly wrong.

monkfish cannot contribute to its depletion.

Hey Madhur,
I went through your explanation to this question in the other forum
https://www.urch.com/forums/gmat-sentenc ... kfish.html

Please tell me how can you say that E is wrong comparison??
E. Unlike catching cod and haddock, there are no legal size limits on catching monkfish,contributing to their depletion because they are overfished.
I felt that the structure is

Unlike X, there are no legal size limits on Y
where X = catching cod and haddock,
Y = on catching monkfish

However, I do feel there is a need of THAT(Essential clause)

But I dont find this option to be of wrong comparison.

Please let me know your opinion.

Yes , your explanation seems convincing.

Still, We'll have to check with experts to confirm the same.
