Quote:

A. As a baby emerges from the darkness of the womb with a rudimentary sense of vision, information technology would exist rated well-nigh xx/500, or legally blind if information technology were an adult with such vision.

That commencement "it" looks like a trouble to me. Considering it is the subject of the second clause, "information technology" will generally refer dorsum to the field of study of the first clause – in this case, "a baby." (For more on this, bank check out our YouTube webinar on pronouns, or go along an eye on our Topic of the Week list for more than articles near GMAT pronouns.)

Anyway, if that showtime "it" refers to "a infant", it'due south illogical: "a baby would be rated about 20/500…" That doesn't brand sense. It'south the vision that'southward rated 20/500. (A) is gone.

Quote:

B. A babe emerges from the darkness of the womb with a rudimentary sense of vision that would be rated about twenty/500, or legally blind as an adult.

The pronoun thing isn't an issue anymore, merely the meaning is yet warped: "… a rudimentary sense of vision that would be… legally blind as an adult." The vision wouldn't exist legally bullheaded; the baby would. (B) is out, too.

Quote:

C. Equally a baby emerges from the darkness of the womb, its rudimentary sense of vision would exist rated well-nigh 20/500; qualifying it to be legally blind if an adult.

I think we could fence about that "it" after the semicolon. It arguably refers to "vision" here, and that wouldn't brand sense.

But far more importantly, the semicolon doesn't work, considering "qualifying it to be legally blind if an developed" is just a modifier, not a total independent clause. (C) can be eliminated.

Quote:

D. A baby emerges from the darkness of the womb with a rudimentary sense of vision that would be rated about 20/500; an adult with such vision would exist deemed legally blind.

Hm, this seems fine. The vision is "rated about 20/500", and that makes sense. Nosotros have full independent clauses on each side of the semicolon. It'south a picayune bit funky to see the last clause ("an adult with such vision would be deemed legally blind") so radically transformed from the other answer choices, merely there'southward aught at all wrong with information technology. It's as articulate equally it gets. Keep (D).

Quote:

Due east. As a infant emerges from the darkness of the womb, its rudimentary sense of vision, which would deemed legally blind for an adult, would exist rated near 20/500.

Over again, we have a "rudimentary sense of vision, which would exist deemed legally bullheaded for an adult…" And that makes no sense. (Eastward) tin be eliminated, and (D) is the right answer.

Dearest Friends,

Here is a detailed explanation to this question-

souvik101990 wrote:

Every bit a baby emerges from the darkness of the womb with a rudimentary sense of vision, it would be rated nigh 20/500, or legally bullheaded if it were an adult with such vision.

(A) As a infant emerges from the darkness of the womb with a rudimentary sense of vision, information technology would be rated nearly 20/500, or legally bullheaded if it were an adult with such vision.

(B) A babe emerges from the darkness of the womb with a rudimentary sense of vision that would exist rated virtually 20/500, or legally blind as an adult.

(C) Equally a baby emerges from the darkness of the womb, its rudimentary sense of vision would be rated most xx/500; qualifying information technology to be legally blind if an adult.

(D) A baby emerges from the darkness of the womb with a rudimentary sense of vision that would exist rated most twenty/500; an developed with such vision would be deemed legally blind.

(E) Equally a babe emerges from the darkness of the womb, its rudimentary sense of vision, which would be deemed legally blind for an developed, would be rated about twenty/500.

Pick A: In Option A, the pronoun "information technology" incorrectly refers to the substantive "babe", every bit "baby" is the field of study of the preceding clause. Thus, Option A is incorrect.

Choice B: In Pick B, the phrase "or legally blind as an adult" incorrectly modifies "a rudimentary sense of vision" to imply that the vision would exist blind equally an adult. Thus, Selection B is wrong.

Selection C: Option C incorrectly uses a modifier to link the dependent clause "qualifying it to exist legally bullheaded if an adult" to the main clause. Thus, Selection C is wrong.

Choice D: Option D correctly conveys the intended meaning of the sentence past fugitive modifier errors and shifting the information regarding legal incomprehension to an independent clause, correctly, linked to the residual of the sentence through a semicolon. Thus, Option D is correct.

Choice Eastward: Choice East commits a mistake similar to the one seen in Option B by applying the modifier "which would be deemed legally blind for an adult" to the noun "vision". Thus, Option E is incorrect.

Hence, D is the all-time answer choice.

To sympathise the concept of "Fugitive Pronoun Ambiguity on GMAT", you may want to watch the following video (~1 infinitesimal):

All the best!

Equally a baby emerges from the darkness of the womb with a rudimentary sense of vision, it would be rated about xx/500, or legally blind if it were an adult with such vision.

A. As a infant emerges from the darkness of the womb with a rudimentary sense of vision, information technology would be rated most xx/500, or legally blind if it were an adult with such vision. Since there are two singular antecedents - baby and vision - information technology is unclear what "it" refers to

B. A babe emerges from the darkness of the womb with a rudimentary sense of vision that would be rated about xx/500, or legally bullheaded as an adult. This selection makes information technology seem like the rudimentary sense of vision would be legally blind as an developed.

C. Equally a baby emerges from the darkness of the womb, its rudimentary sense of vision would be rated nearly xx/500; qualifying information technology to be legally blind if an adult. This clause later on the semicolon is not an independent clause.

D. A infant emerges from the darkness of the womb with a rudimentary sense of vision that would be rated about xx/500; an developed with such vision would be deemed legally bullheaded. The intended meaning is clear.

Due east. Equally a baby emerges from the darkness of the womb, its rudimentary sense of vision, which would exist deemed legally bullheaded for an adult, would be rated nigh 20/500. This choice makes it seem like the rudimentary sense of vision would be deemed legally bullheaded for an adult.

[quote]Every bit a baby emerges from the darkness of the womb with a rudimentary sense of vision, it would be rated about 20/500, or legally blind if it were an adult with such vision.

A. Every bit a babe emerges from the darkness of the womb with a rudimentary sense of vision, it would be rated most 20/500, or legally blind if information technology were an adult with such vision.
B. A baby emerges from the darkness of the womb with a rudimentary sense of vision that would be rated virtually 20/500, or legally lind as an adult.

East. Equally a baby emerges from the darkness of the womb, its rudimentary sense of vision, which would deemed legally blind for an adult, would be rated about twenty/500./quote]

A. is out. the 'information technology' is not clear equally to its antecedent. This same unclear pronoun is after repeated. beginning with as and and then the subject is 'it.'
B. This is better than A. Nonetheless the second part (or legally blind as an adult is referring to vision not the baby).
C. Also begins with as forcing the subject to be sense. Then it has a semicolon followed by a less than complete second function.
D. Good. We have the baby every bit the subject. then the second part is very articulate with a clear subject area.
E. The subject again is sense. The core of the sentence is "sense would be rated" The modifiers should not overwhelm the core of the sentence.

D. is best of the five. B is the least worst of the remainders.

As a baby emerges from the darkness of the womb with a rudimentary sense of vision, it would be rated well-nigh 20/500, or legally blind if it were an adult with such vision.
(A) Equally a infant emerges from the darkness of the womb with a rudimentary sense of vision, it would exist rated about 20/500, or legally blind if information technology were an adult with such vision. 'it' may refer to sense of vision too every bit a babe, and vision cannot 'exist bullheaded'

(C) As a baby emerges from the darkness of the womb, its rudimentary sense of vision would be rated about twenty/500; qualifying information technology to be legally blind if an developed. An integrate sentences should follow a semicolon
(D) A babe emerges from the darkness of the womb with a rudimentary sense of vision that would be rated about 20/500; an adult with such vision would be deemed legally blind. correct. semicolon here can divide two sentence with interlinked meaning.
(E) Equally a babe emerges from the darkness of the womb, its rudimentary sense of vision, which would be deemed legally blind for an adult, would exist rated about 20/500. same as A

Please clarify this construction.Thanks.

You lot are reading it every bit:

"As a baby emerges from the darkness of the (womb with a rudimentary sense of vision"

When you should be grouping information technology differently as such:

"As a babe {emerges from the (darkness of the womb) } with a rudimentary sense of vision"

How practice we know to exercise this?

Nosotros apply the "Cutting the Fluff" technique and identify central prepositional words:

one. OF THE WOMB = fluff
two. FROM THE DARKNESS = fluff

The keywords OF and FROM - bespeak additional details that you can ignore.

One time you ignore these details, the skeleton becomes:

"Equally a baby {emerges from the (darkness of the womb) } with a rudimentary sense of vision"

which is:

"As a infant emerges with a rudimentary sense of vision"

So utilise our "Cutting the Fluff" technique to aid you observe the barebone skeleton of the sentence. And so from at that place, you can more than hands do your analysis.

As a baby emerges from the darkness of the womb with a rudimentary sense of vision, information technology would exist rated nigh xx/500, or legally blind if it were an adult with such vision.

A. As a baby emerges from the darkness of the womb with a rudimentary sense of vision, it would be rated about xx/500, or legally blind if it were an adult with such vision.
B. A baby emerges from the darkness of the womb with a rudimentary sense of vision that would be rated nearly twenty/500, or legally lind as an adult.
C. Equally a baby emerges from the darkness of the womb, its rudimentary sense of vision would exist rated about 20/500; qualifying information technology to be legally blind if an adult.
D. A infant emerges from the darkness of the womb with a rudimentary sense of vision that would be rated about twenty/500; an adult with such vision would be accounted legally blind.
E. Equally a baby emerges from the darkness of the womb, its rudimentary sense of vision, which would deemed legally blind for an adult, would be rated about 20/500.

Here's my take on the question:

1. As a infant emerges from the darkness of the womb with a rudimentary sense of vision, it would be rated virtually 20/500, or legally blind if it were an adult with such vision. - No inkling what does this It refers to. It could refer to emergence of babe or to the rudimentary sense of vision.

2. A baby emerges from the darkness of the womb with a rudimentary sense of vision that would be rated about 20/500, or legally blind as an adult. - Improper construction

3. As a infant emerges from the darkness of the womb, its rudimentary sense of vision would exist rated about 20/500; qualifying it to be legally blind if an adult. - Its may refer to baby or to womb. The second issue is that subsequently semicolon, there'due south a fragment.

4. A babe emerges from the darkness of the womb with a rudimentary sense of vision that would be rated virtually 20/500; an adult with such vision would be deemed legally bullheaded. THAT clearly refers to rudimentary sense of vision. A semicolon is used before an independent clause. Judgement is correct.

5. Every bit a baby emerges from the darkness of the womb, its rudimentary sense of vision, which would accounted legally blind for an adult, would be rated almost 20/500. Its is a possessive pronoun, and then it must have a noun before it to which it can refer to. As a baby emerges is non a noun.

Hope this helps you.

Honey Russ9,

Here's my have on the question:

Equally a baby emerges from the darkness of the womb with a rudimentary sense of vision, it would exist rated nigh xx/500, or legally blind if it were an developed with such vision.

A. As a baby emerges from the darkness of the womb with a rudimentary sense of vision, it would be rated near twenty/500, or legally blind if information technology were an developed with such vision.
B. A baby emerges from the darkness of the womb with a rudimentary sense of vision that would be rated about 20/500, or legally lind as an adult.
C. As a infant emerges from the darkness of the womb, its rudimentary sense of vision would exist rated nigh 20/500; qualifying it to be legally blind if an developed.
D. A baby emerges from the darkness of the womb with a rudimentary sense of vision that would be rated about 20/500; an adult with such vision would exist accounted legally blind.
E. As a baby emerges from the darkness of the womb, its rudimentary sense of vision, which would deemed legally blind for an adult, would be rated about 20/500.

1. As a baby emerges from the darkness of the womb with a rudimentary sense of vision, information technology would be rated about 20/500, or legally blind if information technology were an developed with such vision. - No clue what does this Information technology refers to. It could refer to emergence of baby or to the rudimentary sense of vision.

2. A baby emerges from the darkness of the womb with a rudimentary sense of vision that would be rated about 20/500, or legally blind as an adult. - Improper construction

three. As a baby emerges from the darkness of the womb, its rudimentary sense of vision would be rated about 20/500; qualifying it to be legally blind if an adult. - Its may refer to babe or to womb. The second issue is that subsequently semicolon, there's a fragment.

It is a fragment because, in that location is no proper noun to which information technology tin can refer to and if an adult is incomplete. The correct formation could be, if information technology were an adult. Though the reply would nonetheless be wrong, considering of Information technology.

4. A babe emerges from the darkness of the womb with a rudimentary sense of vision that would be rated most 20/500; an developed with such vision would be deemed legally bullheaded. THAT clearly refers to rudimentary sense of vision. A semicolon is used earlier an independent clause. Judgement is correct.

v. Every bit a baby emerges from the darkness of the womb, its rudimentary sense of vision, which would accounted legally blind for an adult, would be rated about 20/500. Its is a possessive pronoun, so it must have a noun before information technology to which it can refer to. As a baby emerges is non a noun.

Promise this helps you.

As a baby emerges from the darkness of the womb with a rudimentary sense of vision, it would be rated almost 20/500, or legally blind if it were an adult with such vision.

(A) As a babe emerges from the darkness of the womb with a rudimentary sense of vision, it would exist rated most 20/500, or legally bullheaded if it were an adult with such vision --> 1st "it" refers to vision, second "information technology" refers to baby. Onepronoun must always refer to the same substantive if used > time
(B) A baby emerges from the darkness of the womb with a rudimentary sense of vision that would exist rated about 20/500, or legally blind as an developed --> Hither, as an adult seems to refer to a sense of vision, implying that a SENSE OF VISION can function AS AN Developed.
(C) As a babe emerges from the darkness of the womb, its rudimentary sense of vision would be rated about xx/500; qualifying it to be legally blind if an developed. --> qualifyin bone not a verb -> makes the function after a semicolon a judgement fragment
(D) A babe emerges from the darkness of the womb with a rudimentary sense of vision that would be rated about 20/500; an adult with such vision would be deemed legally blind --> Correct. Babe is compared with an adult. Both sentences before and subsequently a semicolon are have a subject and a verb (can stand lonely)
(East) As a baby emerges from the darkness of the womb, its rudimentary sense of vision, which would be accounted legally blind for an adult, would exist rated about xx/500 --> A viosion tin not exist blind ...)))

No one seems to read my post as to why E is wrong and then are unnecessarily wasting their precious preparation time in getting confused
There is a curtailed and well written grammar rule that tells the states exactly why East is wrong and i have explained the same rule in great detail in my before post.
I volition explicate it over again here by pasting my earlier post as well as throwing more light on the rule.

The correct answer is D

E is blatantly wrong because of the rules of comma (bet you don't know that )
I am certain Gmat would never hinge a right respond only based on commas, there would be more mistakes in a wrong option apart from an incorrect comma
Then the dominion of comma, states that a phrase jump by commas is akin to a parenthetical element
Meaning, if there is a phrase in between ii commas, and so treat that particular phrase as if information technology is inside a bracket. For all practical purposes, such a phrase conveys non essential or additional information - information that is not of great importance to the reader.

And then Option E is essential saying :-
As a babe emerges from the darkness of the womb, its rudimentary sense of vision , which would accounted legally blind for an adult, would be rated about 20/500.

Now in essence the judgement can be read as:-
Equally a baby emerges from the darkness of the womb would be rated about 20/500.
This is an absurd judgement with no regard for grammar rules.

We need the phrase "IT"S RUDIMENTARY SENSE OF VISION" as well equally "which would deemed legally bullheaded for an adult" because these two phrases tells u.s.a. that the baby is blind in legal terms. These two phrases are important to grasp the total meaning of the sentence and hence cannot exist bound by commas.

Hence E IS WRONG

MORE EXPLANATION About THE RULE

Use a pair of commas in the middle of a judgement to ready off clauses, phrases, and words that are not essential to the significant of the sentence. Utilize one comma before to signal the beginning of the pause and one at the finish to indicate the end of the pause.

Here are some clues to help you decide whether the sentence element is essential:

If you leave out the clause, phrase, or give-and-take, does the sentence all the same brand sense?
Does the clause, phrase, or word interrupt the flow of words in the original sentence?
If you move the element to a different position in the sentence, does the judgement still brand sense?

If you lot answer "NO" to one or more of these questions, then the element in question is Essential and should Not EVER be set off with commas like it is done in selection Due east hither.

Here are some case sentences with nonessential elements in which nosotros can easily remove the phrase and it volition still make complete sense as far as the meaning of the sentence is concerned.

Clause: That Tuesday, which happens to be my altogether, is the only day when I am bachelor to meet.

Phrase: This restaurant has an exciting atmosphere. The food, on the other manus, is rather bland.

Discussion: I capeesh your difficult work. In this instance, however, yous seem to have over-exerted yourself.

THIS IS THE ONE AND Merely REASON WHY Due east IS WRONG

GMATNinja, I solved this question by eliminating respond A because it used pronoun "information technology" for "babe"; and answer C and E because both used "its" for "baby".

Can we safely conclude that this is the valid reason to eliminate these choices?

Tin can nosotros safely conclude that this is the valid reason to eliminate these choices?

I agree that the "it" is a huge problem in answer selection (A), as mentioned hither:

https://gmatclub.com/forum/qotd-as-a-ba ... l#p1917257

.

Good question well-nigh (C) and (East), though. In both of them, "its" could, in theory, exist considered cryptic, since "its" could refer to either "baby" or "womb." But pronoun ambiguity isn't an absolute rule on the GMAT (more on pronouns and ambivalence in this webinar), and I don't think that the pronoun is unclear in (C) and (E). At the very least, I wouldn't eliminate (C) or (E) based solely on the pronoun. And in both cases, there are much better reasons (described here) why (C) and (E) are wrong.

I hope this helps!!

I hold that the "it" is a huge problem in answer option (A), as mentioned here:

Good question about (C) and (Eastward), though. In both of them, "its" could, in theory, exist considered ambiguous, since "its" could refer to either "baby" or "womb." Just pronoun ambiguity isn't an absolute rule on the GMAT (more on pronouns and ambivalence in this webinar), and I don't retrieve that the pronoun is unclear in (C) and (E). At the very least, I wouldn't eliminate (C) or (E) based solely on the pronoun. And in both cases, there are much better reasons (described here) why (C) and (E) are wrong.

Hi GMATNinja,

I notwithstanding don't understand how "it" is a trouble in A as "it" can't refer to infant, but in option C and Eastward, "its" referring to baby is not a definite error. "Its" referring to infant or womb won't make sense, then that should exist enough to eliminate C and E. I sympathize there are other errors in C and Due east.

Can "its" referring to "infant" considered okay?

Cheers for your assistance!

Hi YT/ yt770,

I will be glad to help you out with this one.

Allow's take a wait at the original sentence:

As a baby emerges from the darkness of the womb with a rudimentary sense of vision, it would exist rated virtually xx/500, or legally blind if it were an developed with such vision.

In the structure it would be rated..., pronoun it cannot refer to a babe because this reference does non make logical sense. A babe cannot be rated twenty/500. Per the context of the sentence, only the sense of vision can exist rated and then.

Now, the way the original sentence is written, the ancestor of both the instances of pronoun it must refer to the aforementioned noun entity. Nonetheless, pronoun it in the structure if it were an developed... cannot refer to the sense of vision because a sense of vision cannot be an adult.

Then, in Choice A, usage of pronoun is incorrect because their reference is not logical.

Now permit's talk about Choice C and E. IMHO, usage of pronoun it in Choices C and E are not ambiguous considering the sentence won't make sense if it is deemed to refer to any other noun entity apart from a baby. But yep, these two choices have other very definite errors and hence, can be rejected easily.

Hope this helps.
Thanks.
Shraddha

Howdy egmat/Shraddha,

Thanks for your response!! Actually, I all the same have a doubtfulness. In C and Due east, "its" is not cryptic and "its" refer to a baby. How is this not a definite error? I totally sympathize the other errors that make C and E wrong, but what's confusing to me is the usage of "it/its" to refer to a baby. Shouldn't the correct pronoun is his/her/who to refer to a baby? In that context "its" must be incorrect.

Thanks!
