Many kitchens today are equipped with high-speed electrical gadgets, such as blenders and food processors, which are able to inflict as serious injuries as those<\/span> caused by an industrial wood-planing machine.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Meaning Analysis<\/span><\/h1>\n
    \n
  • Many kitchens<\/span> today are equipped<\/span> with high-speed electrical gadgets, such as blenders and food processors,<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The sentence starts by talking about how some specific kind of electronic appliances can be found in kitchens these days. Reading further:<\/p>\n

      \n
        \n
      • which<\/span> are<\/span> able to inflict as serious injuries as those<\/span>\n
          \n
            \n
          • caused by an industrial wood-planing machine<\/span>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n

            In this portion, the sentence says that the kitchen appliances mentioned earlier are capable of seriously wounding people. It then goes on to present a comparison. It says that the injuries these appliances can cause are comparable to the ones caused by a specific heavy-duty industrial machine in terms of the criticality of the resulting wounds.<\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

            To sum up, the sentence wants to convey that certain high-speed electronic appliances used in kitchen these days are capable of wounding a person as seriously as a particular kind of heavy-duty industrial machine is.<\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

            Error Analysis<\/span><\/h1>\n

             <\/p>\n

            \u00a0\"\"<\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

            \u00a0<\/strong>Comparison Error<\/strong><\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

            The way the sentence is written, it seems to compare serious injuries<\/em> caused by high-speed electrical kitchen appliances<\/em> with<\/span> the serious injuries<\/em> caused by a wood-planing machine<\/em>. In essence, the sentence compares one kind of injuries with another kind of injuries.<\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

            However, the sentence intends to say that the injuries caused by the modern-day kitchen appliances can be as serious as the injuries caused by the industrial machineries. So the intended comparison is between the seriousness<\/em><\/strong> of injuries caused by certain kitchen gadgets and the seriousness<\/em><\/strong> of the injuries caused by a wood-planing machine.<\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

            POE<\/span><\/h1>\n
            \n

            Choice A<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

            Incorrect<\/span><\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

            This choice is incorrect for the reason stated in the error analysis.<\/p>\n

            \n

            Choice B<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

            Incorrect<\/span><\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

            1. \u00a0Comparison Error<\/strong><\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

            This choice repeats the comparison error as in Choice A.<\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

            2. \u00a0Idiom Error<\/strong><\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

            The phrase such as<\/em> is used to present example. This choice uses this phrase to present comparison. This usage is absolutely incorrect.<\/p>\n

            \n

            Choice C<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

            Incorrect<\/span><\/p>\n

             <\/p>\n

            1. \u00a0Modifier Errors<\/strong><\/p>\n

              \n
            1. The comma + verb-ing modifier i<\/span>nflicting<\/em>\u2026 modifies the preceding clause, illogically conveying that <\/span>many kitchens inflict serious injuries as a result of being equipped with high-speed electronic appliances.<\/em><\/li>\n
            2. The modifier <\/span>having been caused<\/em> seems to modify the pronoun <\/span>that<\/em>, which incorrectly stands for the plural antecedent <\/span>injuries<\/em>. This construction illogically implies that the injuries by industrial wood-planing machine already happened. However, this isn\u2019t the intended meaning of the original sentence.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              \n

               <\/p>\n

              2. \u00a0Pronoun Error<\/strong><\/p>\n

               <\/p>\n

              Singular pronoun that<\/em> has been used to refer to plural injuries<\/em>.<\/p>\n

              \n

              Choice D<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

              Incorrect<\/span><\/p>\n

               <\/p>\n

              1. \u00a0Idiom Error<\/strong><\/p>\n

               <\/p>\n

              \u2026capable to<\/em> is an incorrect idiom. The correct idiom is capable<\/em> of.<\/p>\n

               <\/p>\n

              2. \u00a0Pronoun Error<\/strong><\/p>\n

               <\/p>\n

              This choice repeats the pronoun error of Choice C. <\/strong><\/p>\n

              \n

              Choice E<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

              Correct<\/span><\/p>\n

               <\/p>\n

              This indeed is the correct answer choice as it takes care of the comparison error of the original sentence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
