New data from the United States Forest Service ecologists show that for every dollar spent on controlled small scale burning, forest thinning, and the training of fire management personnel, it saves seven dollars that would not be spent on having to extinquish big fires
B. that for every dollar spent on controlled small scale burning, forest thinning, and the training of fire management personnel, seven dollars are saved that would have been spent on extinguishing.
C. that for every dollar spent on controlled small scale burning, forest thinning, and the training of fire management personnel saves seven dollars on not having to extinquish
D. for every dollar spent on controlled small scale burning, forest thinning, and the training of fire management personnel, that it saves seven dollars on not having to extinquish
E. for every dollar spent on controlled small scale burning, forest thinning, and the training of fire management personnel, that seven dollars are saved that would not have been spent on extinguishing.
Ans : B
Hi,
I got the answer correct, but i am confused with choice C.
In A--> Pronoun "it" has no clear referent so i eliminate this option.
In D--> "that" is required after "show" because it is a reporting verb. Again pronoun "it" has no clear referent. So, these were the two reasons i eliminated this answer choice.
In E--> "that" is required after "show" because it is a reporting verb. So eliminated this choice.
In C--> O.G says "saves" does not have subject. (Can anyone please explain this in more detail ?)
In B--> This was the only answer that looks better than others, so i chose this option.
The context talks about parallelism - scale burning, forest thinning, and the training of fire management personnel.
Is the parallelism between noun, noun, and noun ?
Thanks & Regards
Sachin
