sat writing question ?

  1. The exchange between the teacher and the student promotes learning far different from that which results as the student listens but does not participate?

^What is wrong with “as” ?? I thought the error was “far different” … shouldn’t it be “far differently” ??

The correct conjunction is “when” not “as”.
“when”= “those times when”
“as”=“at the same time as”

The phrase “promotes learning far different from that which results” means “promotes learning far different from the learning that results”.Thus in this phrase, the word “different” modifies “learning” not “promotes”. “Learning” is a simple gerund functioning as a noun. To modify a noun, you need an adjective (“different”), not an adverb (“differently”).
