<p>Hey CCer's, long time no post :P</p>

<p>I encountered 2 writing questions that i did not know, so i need ur help :)</p>

<p>1) London (differs from) other cities, (such as) Paris and New York, (in that) its shopping areas are so (widely) spread out. (No error)</p>

<p>i chose choice C....the right choice is E
but i dont know y it is correct!</p>

<p>2) The television stations (has received) many complaints (about) the clothing advertisements, (which some) viewers condemn (to be) tasteless. (No error.)</p>

<p>I chose E but the right choice is D!</p>

<p>thx in advance :)</p>

2

<p>Not sure about the first one but I’m pretty sure that the second one is A because it should be the television stationS HAVE received because stations is plural. Television just modifies it.</p>

3

<p>oh my</p>

<p>It is supposed to be television station.
Typing mistake :D</p>

4

<p>For the first one I’m pretty sure it is supposed to be “as being”</p>

5

<p>Is there a reason why you think the first sentence has a grammar error? How would you rewrite it?</p>

<p>For the second (with the correction of the typo) either “condemn to be tasteless” or “condemn as being tasteless” is awkward. The verb form of “to be” is unnecessary. It’s sufficient to say “condemn as tasteless”. Try this with analogous phrases with and without the infinitive.</p>

6

<p>There is not a mistake in 1. Everything is correct…</p>

<ol>
<li>“condemn to be” is incorrect. “Condemn as” is the proper idiom/diction. It’s a tricky mistake.</li>
</ol>

<p>*I meant for the second one not the first</p>
