<p>It's identifying errors problem:</p>
<p>Delgado's Dilemma was like many other young writers: he had to choose between assured publication in a student magazine and probable rejection by a popular magazine.</p>
<p>The key says " like many other" is wrong. </p>
<p>Anyone can explain why it's wrong for me, please?</p>
<p>THANKS</p>
<p>The error here is that the sentence contains an illogical comparison. One should not compare a dilemma to a writer; rather, one compares dilemmas to other dilemmas. So, the sentence should read thus:</p>
<p>“Delgado’s dilemma was like many other young writers**'**: he had to choose between assured publication in a student magazine and probable rejection by a popular magazine.”</p>
<p>You could also correct it to be:</p>
<p>“Delgado’s dilemma was like that of many other young writers…”</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>No, but you’re thinking correctly; writers have more than one dilemma. Using a pronoun instead of merely an apostrophe, the correct form would be:</p>
<p>“Delgado’s dilemma was like those of many other young writers…”</p>
<p>I see! Thank you guys so much</p>
<p>No problem. Whenever you see a comparison in an Error-Identification question, check for logical congruity; this type of question comes up a fair amount.</p>
