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) merging the nuclei of atoms and not splitting them apart, as in nuclear reactors
•(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 merges the nuclei of atoms but does not split them apart, as is done in unclear reactors
•(E) and merges the nuclei of atoms, unlike atomic reactors that split them apart

Well, between D and E, I am confused. At first, I thought D, then I went for E...
This sort of question I think will occur in real gmat test, if it appears on the test day, I am dead..

The question is how can I differ between "As" and "Unlike"... When it comes to compare two things. I think the "Unlike" often apears in the comparsion between two stuff, right???

OK we also are confused.

We thought the answer was C until we read your question about D and E.

The way we read this, the second clause is defining what nuclear fusion is, which is why we went with "merging..." since that explains how nuclear fusion works, in contrast to nuclear reactors.

If you're saying that it's D or E, then there's no hope for EssaySnark! :|

What's the OA? If you offer that, then we'll work backwards and try to give some explanations around this slippery language we're dealing with.

(Obviously EssaySnark is no GMAT instructor!! hope it's OK that we jumped in anyway.)

OA is D... C merging is wrong because of parallism....

tracyyahoo, are you sure that the answer is D???

EssaySnark is really struggling to believe that the answer could be anything but C here.

'merging' is not parallel with 'powers', 'merging' and 'splitting' here use to modify the clause preceding it, modify the ACTION 'how the force powers the Sun,the stars, and hydrogen bombs', so why we need 'merging' instead of 'merges'
