Part of the following sentence is underlined; beneath the sentence are five ways of phrasing the underlined material. Select the option that produces the best sentence. If you think the original phrasing produces a better sentence than any of the alternatives, select choice A.
Modern discus throwers use much the same technique of ancient Greece.
- of ancient Greece
- of ancient Greeks
- as ancient Greeks did
- as they did in ancient Greece
- like ancient Greeks
• Choice (C) is correct. It avoids the error of the original by comparing what “Modern discus throwers” do to what “ancient Greeks did” (not to “ancient Greece,” a comparison that would not make logical sense).
