<p>Most major air pollutants cannot be seen, although large amounts (of them) (concentrated in) cities (are visible) (as) smog. No error</p>
<p>Answer: E, no error</p>
<p>On this question, I am confused as to why C is not incorrect. Shouldn't it be "are as visible as"? If not, where am I going wrong with this problem.</p>
<p>Intimacy, love, and marriage are three different, if
interrelated, subjects.
(A) different, if interrelated, subjects
(B) interrelated subjects, being, however, different
(C) different subjects, whereas they are interrelated
(D) different subjects when interrelated
(E) subjects that are different although being
interrelated</p>
<p>Answer: A</p>
<p>I guess if I had been thinking, I would have gotten this question right. However, what "Grammar rule" makes A right over D. </p>
<p>(During) the nineteenth century, Greek mythology acquired renewed significance when (both poets and painters) (turned to) the ancient myths (for) subject matter. No error</p>
<p>Answer: E</p>
<p>Again, I can kind of see why "for" is the wrong answer. However, wouldn't it be "as" instead of "for"?</p>
<p>THANKS,
Robbie</p>

<p>the reason why its not "are as visible as" is because its not a comparison between pollutants and smog. Instead, it is stating that the pollutant is smog.</p>

<p>the sentence with choice A and the sentence with choice D have different meanings.
it completely changes the sentence, thats why D isn't correct.</p>
<hr>
<p>I have no clue about the last one.</p>
<p>"are as visible as" implies comparing two separate entities. This is the same sentence, at its most fundamental: Most major air pollutants...are visible as smog.</p>
<hr>
<p>These are the words you should be concentrating on. <em>, </em><em>, and _</em> are ___ <em>, if </em><em>, _</em>. The and specifies comparison, the are suggests a set of words that describe the subject(s), and the if implies a set of words opposite of the are set of words.</p>
<hr>
<p>The "for" in this sentence specifies a source (in this case, ancient myths). "as" wouldn't make sense (They turned to ancient myths as subject matter.)</p>
<p>That's the best I could explain it.</p>
<p>For the last one, think about it like this:</p>
<p>I turned to my buddy Mark for help.</p>
<p>I turned to my buddy Mark as help.</p>
<p>Which one would you choose?</p>
<p>Thx for the help guys! I really appreciate it = D</p>
<p>that was some good questions =p</p>
