<p>Lynn Lastnamehere's theory [A that] evolution is a process [B involving] interdependacy rather than competition among organisms [C differs] dramatically from [D most biologists]. [E]</p>
<p>*** is wrong with choice D. Is there a difference between most\many? I don't see what's wrong and:</p>
<p>The cost of [A safely disposing] of toxic chemicals [B is approximately] [C five times what] the company paid [D to purchase it]. [E]</p>
<p>What's wrong with D? -.-</p>
<p>Someone can correct me but i think because in answer D when it says “Most biologists” its not clear on what its comparing it to.</p>
<p>It should be most biologists theory.</p>
<p>“Lynn Lastnamehere’s theory” and “most biologists theory”.</p>
<p>I’ll try to explain what’s wrong with D. The way the sentence is phrased, it compares the theory to biologists, instead of comparing her theory to the theory of the other biologists. (If the sentence was correct, it would look something like “Lynn Lastnamehere’s theory that evolution is a process involving interdependency rather than competition among organisms differs greatly from that of most biologists.” And in the second question, the “it” doesn’t agree with “chemicals”.</p>
<p>Thanks. Wow, the SAT really likes to test the most trivial concepts. Now it seems so obvious. =X</p>
<p>Actually, these types of questions are very common in the SAT. When two things are supposed to be compared just make sure they are actually compared, i.e. “Older dictionaries are generally bigger than today” is wrong; it should be “today’s” or “those of today” in the same way “most biologists” should be "most biologists’ " or “that of most biologists.” Keep in mind that “those” is plural and “that” is singular, so you might need to match more than one pair of things to see if they are parallel</p>
<p>come to think of it, it might be “those of most biologists” depending on whether or not each biologist has a different theory. you dont have to worry about that though… unless you want to</p>
