(A) That educators have not anticipated the impact of microcomputer technology can hardly be said that it is their fault - that educators have ...that it is their - two thats not required . ELIMINATE -


(8) That educators have not anticipated the impact of microcomputer technology can hardly be said to be at fault - wordy and i feel its passive voice also. not quite sure though. But it definitely is wrong for 'be said to be at fault ' .ELIMINATE

(e) It can hardly be said that it is the fault of educators who have not anticipated the impact of microcomputer technology - though it correctly uses It to begin a sentence , but it is wordier when compared to D . fault of educators = educators fault .ELIMINATE

(D) It can hardly be said that educators are at fault for not anticipating the impact of microcomputer technology - CORRECT

(E) The fact that educators are at fault for not anticipating the impact of microcomputer technology can hardly be said - Its not grammatically correct. - ELIMINATE - what can be hardly said ? the fact that educators ...blah! it should be placed next to it .

We should ask Stacey for this official question

My idea is that

THAT ...CLAUSE

TO DO

DOING

are not preferable to be subject of a sentence. We should use other structures.

"that" is not used in the beginning of the sentences. Maximum it can introduce new copy of something but generally "that" is used for subordinate clause. - A and B out

Idiom problem: it should say "can hardly be said to be their fault." not "at fault" - B and E out

C - doesn't have clear antecedent for "it". First "it" is "indefinite it", the second indefinite "it" can't exist because it may refer to the first one.

C,E - are wordy and not concise.

POE: D

(D) It can hardly be said that educators are at fault for not anticipating the impact of microcomputer technology - CORRECT

Is there nothing wrong with "It" in the beginning of the sentence?
Wouldn't this sort of pronoun usage be considered ambiguous?
I thought use of it or they to refer general things are said to be colloquial thus indicate incorrect answers.
