Despite the sequel's poor critical reception, most people seeing it find the acting and cinematography at least as good or even better than the original.

A. most people seeing it find the acting and cinematography at least as good or even better than the original
B. most people seeing it find the acting and cinematography at least as good or even better than the original's
C. most people who see the film find the acting and cinematography at least as good as or even better than those in the original
D. most people who see it find the acting and cinematography at least as good or even better than those in the original
E. most people seeing the film find the acting and cinematography at least as good as or even better than those of the original's

OA: C

Doubt: [spoiler]'C' has "who see the film"..shouldn't it be followed by "will find" instead of "find"?[/spoiler]

Despite the sequel's poor critical reception, most people seeing it find the acting and cinematography at least as good or even better than the original.

A. most people seeing it find the acting and cinematography at least as good or even better than the original -> acting and cinematography plural there those needed

B. most people seeing it find the acting and cinematography at least as good or even better than the original's --> original's is not correct

C. most people who see the film find the acting and cinematography at least as good as or even better than those in the original

-- the idiom is correct ... as good as ...

D. most people who see it find the acting and cinematography at least as good or even better than those in the original

-- it cannot refer back to sequel's , i think its should have been used...

E. most people seeing the film find the acting and cinematography at least as good as or even better than those of the original's

--- originals is wrong usage.

I thought 'C' was missing 'will' it should be 'will find' instead of just 'find'

This sentence states a contrast as indicated by the word "despite"

Clause 1 - despite the poor reception of the sequel => the sequel has received poor reception from the audience.

Clause 2 - many people who see the film find acting and cinematography good. => states a fact that people who see the film find it good on two accounts -acting and cinematography.

So both clauses state facts that show contrast.

Thus from the context of the sentence, clause 2 should not be "will find" since this clause states a fact about present and not about a fact or prediction about future.

Does that make sense?

It cannot refer to sequel since, sequel is used in possessive case. If its was used in place of it, then its could have referred to sequel's.

To understand this better, reword the sentence as follows:

Despite poor reception of the sequel, many people who see it find acting good...=>

The reference of "it" is ambiguous since it appears to refer to poor reception but logically it should refer to sequel.

Does this help or have I confused you more?

Is there a difference b/w the following 2 usages here?

"most people seeing"

"most people who see"

I eliminated "most people seeing" in my 1st split. And "it" in the 2nd. But if "seeing" is correct, I lucked out!

Thanks.

Another way to ace this one:

when you see a construction such as "as good or even better than" ,make sure both "as part" and "than part" are able to stand alone in the sentence if one of them is supressed.

eg. ...most people who see the film find the acting and cinematography at least as good as those in the...

or ..most people who see the film find the acting and cinematography even better than those in the..

C and E are the only options which uses correct construction.
E is an easy KILL based on poison possessive "the original's"

C is the winner.
Smack is Back ...
It takes time and effort to explain, so if my comment helped you please press Thanks button :)
