You guys kinda messed up on yesterday's, again. The answer is actually D, because the part after the blank has no subject. This is one of those hard grammar questions were it looks extremely easy but you realize it was basically a trick lol. Nice job to @Shiny Av and @Alan P for getting it, though. New question: While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes: - In a 2023 study, 180 intermediate English learners were split into two groups for six weeks. - Group A listened only to speakers using General American English. - Group B listened to speakers using four dialects: General American, Indian, Nigerian, and Scottish English. - On an end-of-course listening test featuring unfamiliar speakers, Group B averaged 78 out of 100, while Group A averaged 70 out of 100. - On a self-rated speaking fluency scale from 1 to 5, Group B averaged 3.1, while Group A averaged 3.6. The student wants to emphasize that broader dialect exposure was associated with higher listening comprehension but lower self-rated speaking fluency. Which choice most effectively uses information from the notes to accomplish this goal? A) Compared with learners who heard only General American English, learners who heard four dialects scored higher on a listening test with unfamiliar speakers (78 vs. 70) but rated their speaking fluency lower (3.1 vs. 3.6). B) Compared with learners who heard only General American English, learners who heard four dialects scored higher on a listening test with unfamiliar speakers (78 vs. 70) but rated their speaking fluency at 3.6 (vs. 3.1). C) Compared with learners who heard only General American English, learners who heard four dialects scored higher on a listening test with unfamiliar speakers (78 vs. 70) and, as a result, rated their speaking fluency lower (3.1 vs. 3.6). D) Compared with learners who heard only General American English, learners who heard four dialects scored higher on a listening test with unfamiliar speakers (78 vs. 70) but rated their speaking fluency lower (3.1 vs. 3.5).
