![]() 2023 During the oppressive streak, residents flocked to water and snowball stands, and Daisy, a female rhino at what was then called The Baltimore Zoo, waded into her pool for the first time in three years. Daniel Lingenhöhl, Scientific American, 18 Oct. 2023 Despite heavy poaching of rhinos, South Africa’s Kruger National Park is still a natural paradise. Caitlin Morton, Condé Nast Traveler, 24 Oct. 2023 In a quiet valley under a clear blue sky, another static picture presented itself: a female white rhino with her calf, and, in the middle distance, a lumbering bull. Amber Dance, Smithsonian Magazine, 4 Oct. 2023 Today, thanks to 2012 legislation from the South African government, anyone in that nation who handles a rhino or its horn-for example, when dehorning animals for the rhinos’ own protection-must send Harper’s team a sample. 2023 Efforts to keep rhinos away from certain areas through the use of human voices have seen success in some early studies. 2023 There are just 81 Javan rhinos, including the calf, left and all are located in the park. However, options A, C, and D flout the rule by contrasting noun phrase with the prepositional phrase.Noun This was true for 95 percent of the animal species observed, including giraffes, leopards, hyenas, zebras, kudu, warthogs, impalas and rhinos. We can either compare Noun with Noun or compare prepositional phrase with prepositional phrase, both are acceptable usages. The mechanical stuff is UNLIKE Comparison trigger. Thus, Option E is the winner.Īlternatively, if the above logic doesn't strike at the exam time, we can simply use mechanical stuff to eliminate. ![]() Option B clearly has a Noun-pronoun agreement error. ![]() Thus, only two options that make logical sense are Option B and E. How can Indian Rhinos exist in Africa? The point here is to compare Rhinos of India with those of Africa. Most important, we cannot use Indian as an adjective for the Rhinoceros, because it would then illogically imply that the pronouns such as ''one'', ''those'' is referring to the Indian Rhinoceros/es. This question can easily be tackled provided we use some logic. The Indian rhinoceros, unlike those in Africa, uses its incisors rather than its horns to protect itself. Project SC Butler: Sentence Correction (SC1) Thanks! the change of word from "protect" to "defend" also contributed to Option E being the right answer or no? Doesn't defend change/alter the meaning of the word protect? Here, X and Y both are parallel and that's what makes ( E) preferred over (D). ![]() X in (E) is "Rhinoceros found in India"- a noun + prepositional phrase and Y is "those found in Africa"-another noun + prepositional phrase. Also, the structure in (E) is nice and parallel. (E) is without any such claims for ambiguity. Also, "Those" here should logically refer to "rhinoceros" only, but some can make a case of it being ambiguous and referring to "Indian Rhinoceros". In (D), X is "Indian Rhinoceros"- a noun, and Y is "those in Africa"- a noun + prepositional phrase. (E ) is superior to (D) on the basis of perfect parallelism.Ĭorrect idiomatic structure is: X unlike Y. Would love to hear why option D is incorrect? gloomybison & gandalfthegreat ![]() I chose D, until i saw the "found" word in option E. So the question is when "that" or "those" refer to a something that has an adjective or a modifier or a preposition, is the adjective/modifier/preposition carried with the very noun?Īs far as ı have seen, prepositions aren't really carried over but ı guess, adjectives are somehow carried over, though ı don't know why. Here both "Indian" and "found in India" plays the role of a modifier, one is an adjective the other one is a participial modifier So here between D and E, "Indian rhinoceroses.those in Africa" VS "Rhinoceroses found in India.those found in Africa" "those" seems to refer to "Indian rhinocerosesĮ) Rhinoceroses found in India, unlike those found in Africa, use their incisors rather than their horns to defend themselves. One seems like referring to "Indian rhinoceros", giving us an illogical meaning Indian rhinoceros in Africaĭ) Indian rhinoceroses, unlike those in Africa, use their incisors rather than their horns to protect themselves. Even if we don't know whether it is singular or not, we can see the discrepancy by the usage of "those" and "its"ī) The rhinoceroses from India, unlike those in Africa, uses its incisors rather than its horns to protect itself.Ĭ) The Indian rhinoceros, unlike the one in Africa, uses its incisors rather than its horns to protect itself. Rhinoceros is singular so using "those" is wrong. A) The Indian rhinoceros, unlike those in Africa, uses its incisors rather than its horns to protect itself. ![]()
