104. Nuclear fusion is the force that powers the Sun, the Stars and hydrogen bombs, merging the nuclei of atoms and not splitting them apart, as in nuclear reactors.
A.
B. merging the nuclei of atoms instead of splitting them apart, like nuclear reactors
C. merging the nuclei of atoms rather than splitting them apart, as nuclear reactors do
D. and merger the nuclei of atoms but does not split them apart, as is done in nuclear reactors
E. and merges the nuclei of atoms, unlike atomic reactors that split them apart
I have two questions on this.
- I am not sure what "merging" is modifying ? Is it modifying "hydrogen bombs" or the whole clause "Nuclear.... bombs" ?
- When we have comma before and, the other half should be a clause instead of a phrase right? Is that we cancel out D and E?
