<p>BB pg 166:</p>
<h1>5.) 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. No error</h1>
<p>Possible errors:
A- like many other
B- had to choose
C- and
D- probable rejection by
E- No error</p>
<p>Answer sheet says it is 'A', however I put E. I don't know how this would be A, unless somebody could explain? Thanks</p>

<p>The way the sentence is currently written compares Delgado’s dilemma directly to the writers themselves, rather than the other writers’ dilemmas. </p>
<p>Ohh I got it: This is because it does not state/describe the dilemmas, because there is no apostrophe showing ownership in “writers’” :D</p>
<p>Yep, comparison error.</p>
<p>If you were writing the sentence, it would be better to insert “that of” between “like” and “many” as opposed to using an apostrophe.</p>
