<p>In 1933, attorney and civic leader Luther Ely Smith envisioned a memorial that would recognize St. Louis's major role in the westward expansion of the United States.</p>
<p>A) No Change
B) attorney, and civic leader
C) attorney and civic leader,
D) attornet, and civic leader,</p>
<p>BTW, it is obvious that B and D are not the answer.....can any1 give me an explanation on the ans. ty</p>
<p>Not sure, but is it A? Because Luther Ely Smith is both a attorney and a civic leader. if you add a comma in between, then the phrase will be an apositive, and because attorney and civic leader is adjective to Luther Ely Smith, adjectives can't go into apositives.</p>
<p>yea A is the correct answer. Ur explanation does makes sense. ty</p>
<p>but I've seen sentences like....Bold and Strong, he.....
isn't that similar to the QS above?</p>
<p>i'd assume the answer is A.. that's what I'd put at least</p>
<p>any explanation?
I just can't see how its A.
I keep thinking u need a comma after leader.
(btw, correct ans = A)
but I still don't get it.
help!</p>
<p>hmmm..... reloadedxp, I have no idea about this kind of grammar, maybe bold and strong works like an appositive. But in the original sentence already has the an appositive "In 1933" ... Maybe 2 appositives can't go together? See, there isn't anyway that you can mash those two appositives together... I'm confused</p>
<p>Just take out the In 1933 from the sentence. A obviously sounds better.</p>
<p>"A" is the answer fo sho.</p>
