<p>Thanks a lot!</p>

<p>Bump, please. I'd really appreciate a justification for the book's answer.</p>

3

<p>I think that most of us would appreciate it if you gave us the question. If it's a passage question, then it's fine.</p>

<p>My apologies. I assumed the majority of CC'ers have their BB handy. Here goes:</p>

<h1>14 on page 602:</h1>

<p>Because they pained scenes of life as ordinary
A
people lived it, rather than scenes from myths,
B C
many nineteenth-century American artists differed</p>

<p>from earlier times. No error
D E</p>

<p>I thought the correct answer was E, but the BB says the answer is D. I've given it some thought, and I cannot ascertain a reason why. Thanks!</p>

<p>i think it is because it compares 19th century artists to earlier times.</p>

6

<p>it should be: many nineteenth-century American artists differed</p>

<p>from earlier ones.</p>

<p>you are comparing the artist to other artist, not time!!</p>

<p>Oh, haha, thanks. I hate TCB. I feel like the writing section is just an aggregation of poorly written sentences that we are expected to correct or marginally improve.</p>
