Act English question

<p>He has become a successful (painter specializing in, landscapes of exotic places) rendered in vivid colors.</p>

<p>1) no change
2) painter specializing in landscapes of exotic places
3) painter, specializing in, landscapes of exotic places
4) painter specializing in landscapes, of exotic places, </p>

<p>The correct answer is A. </p>

<p>Can you please explain what grammar rule this follows? </p>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<p>I believe the comma should be after “painter” and not after “in”.</p>

<p>Correction: answer is 4.</p>

<p>4 makes sense.</p>

<p>The ending phrase “rendered in vivid colors” modifies landscapes. Without the commas, the phrase would modify the exotic places.</p>

<p>If I I got 53 out of 75 right, is that a 23? On English section…</p>

<p>I would like to know the answer to this question as well - bump :)</p>

<p>It’s not 4, but 2.
Because “rendered in vivid colors” describes “landscapes of exotic places”</p>

<p>Also, in 4, there’s a comma right before a preposition, which is not grammatically correct.</p>
