Please free me from those two SC
12. Alaska regularly deposits some of its profits from

(A) fund, with the intention to sustain the state's
economy after the exhaustion of its oil
reserves.
(C) fund intended to sustain the state's economy
after oil reserves are exhausted
(D) fund intended to sustain the state's economy
after exhausting its oil reserves
(E) fund that they intend to sustain the state's econ-
omy after oil reserves are exhausted
c
The original meaning of the sentence is that Alaska regularly deposits some of its profits from the sale of oil into special fund to sustain the state’s economy after the exhaustion of its oil reserves.
Therefore why not A?
in A, is there any grammatical mistakes to use “ ,with the intention to sustain”? I argue that such usage can correctly express not the “fund” intending to do something rather than “Alaska” intending…
C distorts the original meaning to this condition- the willing to sustain the state’s economy comes from fund and not from the action of Alaska. Moreover, C uses passive tense inappropriately that “ after oil reserves are exhausted”.
20. Byron possessed powers of observation that would
have made him a great anthropologist and that
makes his letters as a group the rival of the best
novels of the time.
The subject of the sub-sentence is powers or observation? Why?[em04] |
