In the sentence below, which choice best corrects the underlined comparison?
The vocal ranges of opera singers are typically much wider than pop singers, who often rely on amplification to project their voices.
- ANO CHANGE
- those of pop singers, who often relyCevap
- Cpop singers; who often rely
- Dpop singers, they often rely
Cevap
The correct answer is the option that replaces the underlined text with 'those of pop singers, who often rely'. This correctly compares the vocal ranges of opera singers with 'those' (the vocal ranges) of pop singers, establishing a logical comparison.
The correct answer correctly uses the pronoun 'those' to refer back to 'the vocal ranges,' ensuring a logical and parallel comparison between the ranges of opera singers and the ranges of pop singers. Additionally, it properly uses a comma before the relative clause 'who often rely' to provide nonessential information about pop singers.
Adım Adım Çözüm
Anahtar Kavram
Illogical comparisons occur when a sentence compares two things that cannot be logically compared, such as comparing a characteristic of one group (vocal ranges) directly to the members of another group (pop singers) instead of their characteristics. Using relative pronouns like 'that of' (singular) or 'those of' (plural) corrects this error.
