<p>1) Mediators were standing by, prepared to intervene in the labor dispute even though both sides had refused earlier offers for assistance. </p>
<p>^What is wrong with "for" assistance? What type of idiom issue is this?</p>
<p>2) No one objects to his company, even though he has made insulting remarks about almost every member of the group, when he is a remarkably witty man. </p>
<p>^What is wrong with "group, when" ?? What type of error is this?? What should it be corrected as?</p>
<p>3) The exchange between the teacher and the student promotes learning far different from that which results as the student listens but does not participate? </p>
<p>^What is wrong with "as" ?? I thought the error was "far different" .... shouldn't it be "far differently" ??</p>
<ol>
<li><p>I think it should be “of.” </p></li>
<li><p>“when” does not fit. because of the two commas before even and when, it counts as a dependent clause, I believe it’s called. So if you were to say, “No one objects to his company, when his is a remarkably witty man,” it’s not a complete sentence. It ought to be something along the lines of “because he is a witty man.”</p></li>
<li><p>I’m not sure, but I think it’s “far different” because “differently” is an adverb, and it wouldn’t be modifying “the exchange” properly. As for the word “as,” I can’t tell. I was going to say it should be “which results from the student,” but then ‘listens’ would be in the wrong tense…</p></li>
</ol>
<p>I hope this helps/is right/makes sense. Good luck with the SATs, haha.</p>
<ol>
<li>It wouldn’t be “differently” because it is an adverb, which can only modify adjectives, verbs, or other adverbs, never nouns. In this scenario, “different” is modifying the noun “learning” and so you never use an adverb. The correct idiom usage is “…results WHEN…”</li>
</ol>
<p>3) Two errors here, this is obviously not a CB question. “different” should be “differently” because it describes how the learning is promoted. It also should be “results from” because that’s the correct idiom.</p>
<p>@jamesford: I agree with fresh101’s argument. Also, “results from” doesn’t seem to make sense.
“from that which results from the student listens but does not participate” compared to
“from that which results when the student listens but does not participate”</p>
<p>Also (regarding #3), is there really a question mark at the end of that sentence? It sounds more like an implicit statement that a statement that is asking for verification.</p>
<p>@jamesford–this is a cb question. It appeared on an actual test, which was part of the three new tests CB offered in their new BB. It should not be “differently” because “promoted” is not the word modified, “learning” is and “learning” happens to be a noun.</p>
<h1>2 is wrong because the better word for “when” is “because.”</h1>
<p>Even though he has done this, people like him when he is smart. --Illogical. Should be “even though he has done this, people like him because he is smart.”</p>
<p>How about you plug “because” into the sentence and sound out the absurdity of the sentence? </p>
<p>The exchange between the teacher and the student promotes learning far different from that which results because the student listens but does not participate—that doesn’t make any sense. Awkward phrasing.</p>
<p>I can’t tell if cadillac is responding to my post (#2) which is what you guys assumed he did, or was just answering question #2. The first would be wrong and the latter would be repititive since sjt had already stated the same answer to question 2.</p>
<p>Oh you’re right. I stand corrected. I thought he was replying to question #3, which i thought was question 2 but i guess not. Sorry about that Cadillac.</p>
<p>But…why “as” is false? I also did it wrong and it seems that “when” does sound proper. But I still cannot figure out why “as” cannot state sufficiently.</p>
hey guys its a quite late post but i just figured out the reason :). here far different is trying to describe learning, which here is a noun. This is the “learning” thats different from the “learning” of which “students listens but does not participate”. So here results as is the wrong part.
