Sentence Correction

Why cant a comma be used here? Thanks!

The sentence requires future tense to complete the sentence. The company hasn't purchased yet the color printing division, it will take it in future, so the company will become largest manufacture in future, not in present.

So, we need to use WILL over here.

Between sentence (A) and (E), (A) is wrong because WHICH should followed to the NOUN to which it refers. Here WHICH can't referred to MILLIONS.

Hope this helps....

we usually put some referencial element (who, which, verb-ed, verb-ing, etc) immediately after a comma that modifies something immediately before a comma ---

here millions is used before a comma -- so either use something that make sense to modify million after a comma or just make it part of the entire sentence as done in the OA

Couple of things

a) The sentence is attempting to join two clauses - ( this can be either done by using something such as which, that or by using a conjunction such as and, but)

The problem with the sentence is that it is trying to join the two clauses w/o using a conjunction - something called a comma splice. The only allowed conjunctions to join two sentences using a comma are For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So ( can be memorized easily using the anagram FANBOYS)

The answer choices are attempting to join the sentence using a which - while that is correct, however, which ALWAYS refers to a noun ( as opposed to the act of buying / investing that we have here). In the sentence, which is referring to the million dollars. It is not the million dollars, but the purchase that shall make the company the largest manufacturer. So the options with a ,which are also crossed out. Leaving E.


To grasp this concept, I recommend Googling Comma Splice and understanding the basics from there.

Can anyone explain what is wrong with D? :roll:
