D. powered, which are not subject to emissions-control standards as stringent as they are for
E. powered and therefore they are not subject to emissions-control standards as stringent as those of
[spoiler]OA: C[/spoiler]
[spoiler]IMO: E[/spoiler]
I was able to cross out answer choice A and D, but found it difficult to get down to correct answer C.
Reason to cross out answer B: The comma + and indicates parallelism that result into deducing that
law will have no effect ......, and therefore not subjected (means law will not be subjected) -- This is incorrect as author wants to say that SUV(sport utility vehicles) will not be subjected ...
From answer choice c and e: I thought that it will be better if we put/use a pronoun as show in answer choice E 'they' -- (SUV)the meaning will be properly conveyed.
But I am confused whether we can use pronoun after therefore for such kind of example where the two clauses are connected by word and.
Please clarify the use of pronoun after therefore in such example and help me out to clarify my doubt regarding why answer choice E is wrong.
