<p>This sentence error question was relatively medium in difficulty. I got the correct answer but I don't really know why it's the correct answer. (Get what I mean? lol).</p>

<ol>
<li>The exchange between the teacher and the student promotes learning far different from that which results as the student listens but does not participate.</li>
</ol>

<p>(a) promotes
(b) far different
<a href="c">b</a> as<a href="d">/b</a> but does not
(e) No error</p>

<p>I bolded the correct answer. That is the answer that I got but I just don't know exactly why it needs to be changed. I'm pretty sure it needs to be changed to "if."
Can anyone explain why? Thanks.</p>

<p>…never mind</p>

<p>You are correct because it should be “if” because the sentence refers to the aforementioned student. “If” correctly implies a hypothetical and not an event.</p>

<p>You wouldn’t say “the student does his homework” and then say “as the student does not do his homework.” You would say “if…”</p>
