<li> Just as his predecessor Mozart, for whom composing
music seemed to come easily, Beethoven always
struggled to perfect his work.
(A) Just as
(B) Even though
(C) Whereas
(D) Unlike with
(E) Unlike</li>
</ol>
<p>What is the correct answer ?</p>
<p>I think its E.</p>
<p>either E or D. Sorry English is not my strong point.</p>
<p>Just by looking at the question, you can automatically eliminate A, B, and D.</p>
<p>A is wrong because “just as” requires a “so” at the beginning of the independent clause…so, the idiom goes like this: “Just as…, so…”</p>
<p>B is wrong because it would create a fragment. Try saying “Even though his predecessor Mozart, for whom composing music seemed to come easily, …”</p>
<p>D is wrong because the “with” is redundant and shouldn’t be needed.</p>
<p>That means that you are stuck with C and E. C cannot be correct because you have to use “whereas” at the second clause, but in this case we have a subordinate clause and an independent clause. Say, for example, this sentence: “James was good at baseball, WHEREAS Daniel was good at football.”</p>
<p>The correct answer has to be E because “unlike” successfully establishes a contrast between the two clauses, which is needed here with Mozart and Beethoven. Plus, it successfully introduces the subordinate clause which C does not.</p>
<p>It’s definitely E.</p>
<p>Lol I was confused as to what has to be replaced. Next time please use the underline feature( You can see it [here](<a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/misc.php?do=bbcode]here[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/misc.php?do=bbcode)</a>) Yeah, The answer is ‘E’.</p>
