Sentence correction q2

by krithika1993 » Sat Oct 08, 2016 1:27 pm
Hello,


I'm having some difficulty understanding how my response to this question is incorrect/why the correct answer is indeed the best choice.

Question
After two years of research, the professor came up with the rather incredible theory that the Darwinian Theory of evolution is cyclical, implying that humans will again became apes one day.

a) incredible theory that the Darwinian Theory of evolution is cyclical, implying that humans will again become apes one day.
b) incredulous theory that the Darwinian Theory of evolution is cyclical, implying that humans will again become apes one day.
c) incredible theory that the Darwinian Theory of evolution was cyclical, implying that humans will again become apes one day.
d) incredible theory about the Darwinian Theory of evolution being cyclical, thereby implying that humans will become apes one day.
e) incredulous theory of the Darwinian Theory of evolution being cyclical, which implies that humans will one day again become apes.

My answer: B
Actual answer: A

Please let me know what you think.

Thank you!

the only difference we have between option A and B is "incredible" and incredulous"

Incredible describes something you can't believe because it's so right, like an incredible double rainbow. Incredulous describes how you feel when you can't believe something because it's so wrong,
so incredible will fit best in this sentence
