POE will lead us to A. But I have a basic question, maybe I am missing something.....GMATMadeEasy wrote:43. In the minds of many people living in England, before Australia was Australia, it was the antipodes, the opposite pole to civilization, an obscure and unimaginÂable place that was considered the end of the world.
(A) before Australia was Australia, it was the antipodes
(B) before there was Australia, it was the antipodes
(C) it was the antipodes that was Australia
(D) Australia was what was the antipodes
(E) Australia was what had been known as the antipodes
Correct answer is A .
i infer from correct answer that the last two modifiers (the opposite pole to civilization, an obscure and unimaginÂable place that was considered the end of the world. ) or appositive more precisely are correctly used. But I am not sure of reasoing that can be used to explain.
If I turn the question this way,, is the usage of modifier is correct ? How and Why ? I hope some experts can throw their advise on this.The opposite pole to civilization, an obscure and unimaginÂable place that was considered the end of the world, the antipodes is knows as Austalia today.
you are correct -- the last two modifiers are appositives.GMATMadeEasy wrote:i infer from correct answer that the last two modifiers (the opposite pole to civilization, an obscure and unimaginÂable place that was considered the end of the world. ) or appositive more precisely are correctly used.

you could do that, yes, although the meaning of the sentence has now been distorted (i.e., the sentence doesn't have the correct meaning anymore).If I turn the question this way,, is the usage of modifier is correct ?
