OG12TH Q136. Whereas in mammals the tiny tubes that convey nutrients to bone cells are arrayed in parallel lines, in birds the tubes form a random pattern.
(A) Whereas in mammals the tiny tubes that convey nutrients to bone cells are arrayed in parallel lines, in birds the tubes
(B) Whereas the tiny tubes for the conveying of nutrients to bone cells are arrayed in mammals in parallel lines, birds have tubes that
(C) Unlike mammals, where the tiny tubes for conveying nutrients to bone cells are arrayed in parallel lines, birds’ tubes
(D) Unlike mammals, in whom the tiny tubes that convey nutrients to bone cells are arrayed in parallel lines, the tubes in birds
(E) Unlike the tiny tubes that convey nutrients to bone cells, which in mammals are arrayed in parallel lines, in birds the tubes
OA is A
Hi, everyone,
I have a question about choice E. Hope anyone can help me.
Is the comparison in E parallel? I think "in birds"in the main clause is just an adverbial modifier, the sentense would not ambiguously compare the two irrelevant elements, "the tiny tubes" & " in birds". Am I wrong?
For example, in this sentense, "Like her brother, in 1997 Jim won the prize." Is the comparison in this sentense wrong? Would it seem to compare "the brother" and "the in 1997"? Hope any replies.
