A question about the usage of "that" from OG 10
Source: Beat The GMAT — Sentence Correction |
Choice E is best. The pronoun that in A and B should be deleted, since the pronoun one is sufficient to introduce
the modifier and the sentence is more fluid without that. In B and C, it and that it are intrusive and
ungrammatical: the idiom is "believe x to be y." In the context of this sentence, the infinitive to be is more
appropriate than the limited present-tense is in referring to an event that occurred long ago but has been
discovered only recently. Finally, A, B, and D lack o/and so illogically equate this particular explosion with the
whole class of explosions to which it belongs: it is not a type but possibly one of a type.
this explanation is from OG10
