Galileo's theory Kap 800

by BeatGMATinGVA » Sat Apr 04, 2009 3:50 am
Galileo's theory that ours was indeed a solar system, in which Earth and other planets revolve around the sun, reinforced those of Copernicus.
A...
B. ours was indeed a solar system, in which Earth and other planets revolve around the sun, reinforced that of Copernicus
C. our solar system was indeed solar for Earth and the other planets revolve around the sun, reinforced Copernicus'
D. our system was indeed solar, in which Earth and other planets revolved around the sun, reinforced those of Copernicus
E. Earth and the other planets revolve around the sun in our solar system reinforces that of Copernicus

OA is B

I don't get why E is wrong. Kap 800 says that it's because you have "was" earlier in the sentence while there is NO was in sentence E. Should you always refer to sentence A as a base?

A very good question, but, unfortunately, I don't have an answer. Experts???
Each soul is potentially divine. The goal is to manifest this divine within.

It is the Theory that 'ours was indeed a solar system, in which Earth and other planets revolve around the sun'...singular...so it should be ' reinforced that of Copernicus' not ' those of Copernicus'....
