Hi All,
I have a question regarding the OA i.e. C....can some one please help ?
[spoiler]OG clearly say that like should come adjacent to noun that it want to modify...so how can C be correct ?
Shouldn't C be like:
Because of decreased availability and increased demand in scientific research, platinum, like gold, remains expensive.
Instead of:
Because of decreased availability and increased demand in scientific research, platinum remains expensive, like gold.[/spoiler]
================================================
Because of less availability and greater demand for scientific research, platinum remains consistently expensive, like gold.
Answer Choices:
A. Because of less availability and greater demand for scientific research, platinum remains consistently expensive, like gold.
B. Because of less availability and increased demand for scientific research, platinum remains consistently expensive, like that of gold.
C. Because of decreased availability and increased demand in scientific research, platinum remains expensive, like gold.
D. Because of decreased availability and increased demand for scientific research, platinum remains expensive, like gold.
E. Because of decreased availability and greater demand in scientific research, platinum remains at a consistently high price, like that of gold.
