<p>Is it supposed to be "Contrasting to"?</p>
<p>Can you post the sentence?</p>
<p>had to dust it off :)</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>it should be “in contrast to” or “in contrast with”</p>
<p>The implied subject of the participle clause “contrasting with…rulers” is “Portuguese kings.” The sentence is saying that Portuguese kings are contrasting with other rulers. This is illogical. You can compare two things, but the things themselves are not doing the comparing.</p>
<p>CORRECT: The historian compared Portuguese kings to most other fifteenth-century rulers.
INCORRECT: Portuguese kings compared with most other fifteenth-century rulers.</p>
<p>To avoid this, we use the noun “contrast,” which takes away the implications of the original sentence. In contrast to is a phrase similar to “in bad times like these,” “in light of,” and “keep in mind.” The word “in” indicates abstractness. There is no particular subject doing the contrasting. </p>
