<p>the survival may depend on both the enforcement of waste disposal regulations [ALONG WITH the education of the public..]</p>
<p>I know Both... And is the correct idiomatic phrase.</p>
<h2>Does Both... along with work as well? </h2>
<p>neither ms. erez nor ms. tanaka believes that watching as much live television as HER son Sam does will lead to anything productive</p>
<h2>I know the verb "believes" modifies "ms. tanaka" because of the ____ or/nor _____ rule. so I thought "her" would have to modify ms. tanaka, therefore not leading to any confusion. however, this is not the case?</h2>
<p>An amateur potter herself, the accountant offered to help the artist with his business accounts, complicated AS THEY WERE by his unusual system of record keeping.</p>
<p>I thought "as they were" was redundant? "complicated by his unusual system of record keeping" works too right? answer is No error.</p>
<p>both…along??
hm what are you smoking today?</p>
<hr>
<p>it’s ambiguous</p>
<hr>
<p>“complicated by his unusual system of record keeping” would makes no sense because it’s sort of a modifying phrase. “complicated as they were by” is another way of saying “because they were complicated by”
Does it make it a lil bit clear?</p>
<p>For the second one is it because that the “neither…nor” actually refers to either one of them, so when the believes is used after, it actually refers to either one of them and not ms tanaka, so that makes the “her” ambiguous since believes refers to EITHER one of them, and not specifically ms tanaka??? help I’m confused</p>
