<p>Could anyone help me with this qn? the anwer it gives is D. but i chose E. why D not E?</p>
<p>With one of the most successful African American businesses in history, the Motown Record Corporation was founded in 1959 in Detroit by Berry Gordy, Jr.</p>
<p>Change "With one" to</p>
<p>A. With one
B. It was one
C. Being one
D.One
E.As one</p>
<p>I think D is the right choice for : "One" is enough & and D is shorter than E.</p>
<p>I also think it's D.</p>
<p>"As" means that there should be something else that the object does. For example:</p>
<p>"As one of the most successful African American businesses in history, the Motown Record Corporation donates more than $1b to African American causes." Or something like that. What does Motown do as one of the most successful businesses?</p>
<p>"One" simply describes the company. If the clause stood alone, it wouldn't be "As one", it would be "It is one".</p>
<p>wow. good explanation chedva. but yeah, definately D.</p>
<p>Thank you all! I got it.
And thanks Chedva for your excellent explanation!</p>
