Dear Friends,

I was having problems in answering the following question.

B - dollars and IT donot match
C - fragment (...dollars proved unpopular!!); proved modifies US
D - fragment (...dollars proved unpopular!!); proved modifies 1981
E - WHICH refers to DOLLARS. Two issues with this - (1) dollars proved unpopular WHEN IN FACT ORIGINAL SENTENCE INTENDS TO CONVEY "coins" proved unpopular; (2) even if we assume WHICH can refer to DOLLARS...we have IT LOOKED. IT does not agree with Dollars.

IMO A

In B, C, D, and E, it (singular) does not agree with dollars (plural). Eliminate B, C, D and E.

The correct answer is A.

Hi Mitch,

Thanks. I also thought so, but have got some confusion over whether 2nd clause (BUT THE COIN PROVED...) is an indepedent clause! My thought is: THE COIN WAS PROVED UNPOPULAR BY SOMEONE and therefore we require a verbal (the coin cannot prove unpoplar own it own ie coin cannot do this activity on its own)

IMO the 2nd clause is missing a verbal - I know you would disagree. Could you pls share some thought how to understand whether we require a verbal in such sentences or not.

One definition of to prove is to turn out to be.
In A, the coin proved unpopular means the coin TURNED OUT TO BE unpopular.

IMO A, only choice A makes the correct sense of pronoun it.

When you see the non- underlined part of the sentence there is IT so singular, we will get singular and without any ambiguity only with A.

IMO A
