Hi all,
I am revisiting the OG verbal guide and noticed that there appears to be a typo:
#82) Geologists believe that the warning signs for a major earthquake may include sudden fluctuations in local seismic activity, tilting, and other deformations of the Earth's crust, changing the measured strain across of a fault zone and varying the electrical properties of underground rocks.
a) changing the measured strain across a fault zone and varying
b) changing measurements of the strain across a fault zone, and varying
c) changing the strain as measured across a fault zone, and variations of
d) changes in the measured strain across a fault zone, and variations in
e) changes in measurements of the strain across a fault zone, and variations among
Interestingly enough, this question is printed as follows in the answer explanations:
#82) Geologists believe that the warning signs for a major earthquake may include sudden fluctuations in local seismic activity, tilting and other deformations of the Earth's crust, changing the measured strain across of a fault zone and varying the electrical properties of underground rocks.
a) changing the measured strain across a fault zone and varying
b) changing measurements of the strain across a fault zone, and varying
c) changing the strain as measured across a fault zone, and variations of
d) changes in the measured strain across a fault zone, and variations in
e) changes in measurements of the strain across a fault zone, and variations among
Doesn't the missing comma (",") change the meaning of the sentence? I thought the sentence construct is a list of 3 items, with a modifying phrase for the third item. The OG explains that it should be a list of 4 items.
I would like to know if other copies of the OG have the same typo and whether this affected other people's answer choices.
Thanks a lot
