PostPosted: Sun Aug 03, 2008 12:50 am Post subject: present participle after comma Reply with quote Edit/Delete this post Delete this post
555. One noted economist has made a comparison of the Federal Reserve and an automobile as racing through a tunnel, bouncing first off one wall, then the other; the car may get where it is going, but people may be hurt in the process.
(A) made a comparison of the Federal Reserve and an automobile as racing through a tunnel, bouncing
(B) made a comparison between the Federal Reserve and an automobile racing through a tunnel, bouncing
(C) compared the Federal Reserve with an automobile as racing through a tunnel and which bounced
(D) compared the Federal Reserve to an automobile racing through a tunnel, bouncing
(E) compared the Federal Reserve with an automobile that races through a tunnel and it bounces

i feel the participle after comma modifies the word just before it. but this is question bouncing does not modify the word tunnel. can someone please explain when the words after comma modifies the words before it and when they dont.the ans is D

IMO D

u need to understand the difference between

'compare to' when comparing things which are not similar.
Eg: He compared her to a summer sun. (Comparison is between a person and the sun)

'compare with' when comparing similar things.
Eg: He compared the forged signature with the original one. (Comparison is between two signatures).

Hope it helps...
