Another SC - Meaning of the sentence

a) equitable remedies were available only in the courts of the consumers and not in the courts of law, such as injunctions

b) equitable remedies such as injunctions were available only in the courts of the consumers and not in the courts of law

c) only equitable remedies, such as injunctions, were available in the courts of the consumers and not in the courts of law

d) the availability of equitable remedies, such as injunctions, was restricted to the courts of the consumers and not to the courts of law

e) equitable remedies such as injunctions were not available in the courts of law but only in the courts of consumers.

IMO

IMO the correct is B because it brings the example modifier such as closer to the subject being modified. C has only that changes the meaning, d is passively written, e is long and not x buy y is not written correctly.

KC_raj,

Isn't Not X but Y the same error in B also???

My answer is E, the only choice in which the Idiom is written correctly[/quote]

[spoiler]B)[/spoiler]

equitable remedies such as injunctions were available only in the courts of the consumers and not in the courts of law

B for parallelism

I'd go for B. The question modified courts with an example (injunctions) and that is inappropriate. Choice B conveys stuff in the right manner and the others are faulty
