1- Is 'as' the same as 'when'? should not both have the same meaning?
Generally, a
when-clause refers to an action performed at a particular moment:
When Mary entered the room, John smiled.
Here, the usage of
when implies that the action in blue happened at a particular moment.
An
as-clause refers to an action performed over an extended period of time:
Adam sang as he typed.
Here, the usage of
as implies that the action in blue happened over an extended period of time.
In the SC above, PEOPLE AGE not at a particular moment but over an extended period of time, so the usage of
when is inappropriate.
2- Here, 'the legacy ........is the realization'. Both nouns are parallel.
but in some sentence we say 'my goal is to get a degree' here goal is not parallel to degree, hat is the difference between both sentences?
Generally, an infinitive (
to + VERB) expresses an INTENDED action -- an action that has not yet been performed.
In the SC above,
one legacy is the RESULT of a past event (
the recent campaign).
C and D:
One legacy of Madison Avenue's recent campaign is to realize.
Here, a RESULT (
one legacy) is equated to AN ACTION THAT HAS NOT YET BEEN PERFORMED (
to realize).
This meaning is nonsensical.
Eliminate C and D.
