Paul,
As you underlined it for another questions, is it not to much to have two relative pronouns that in the same phrase ??
Could someone correct my POE ?
E "could severely" is related to Japan not no depression
D same as E
C "it" is unclear...
B causal phrase is not clear and linked to nothing (btw is there always a noun a causal phrase must be related to ?)
A correct

Quote: Japan is in danger of plunging into a depression that [, with double-digit unemployment,] could severely strain a society that So that means every time a sentence is inside two commas, I can exclude that part and should then read the sentence. If the sentence then appears right,it is a possible correct answer. I usually go by this approach but wanted be sure ...so am asking you guyz. A for me.[/quote]

twixt wrote: If we substract the sentence inside commas Newkid, should we also consider B as a possible answer ? IMO, yes. A and B are final. A beats B in the meaning. B sounds like depression is causing a strain because of unemployement. Whereas the original meaning is "along with".

I usually go by this approach but wanted be sure ...so am asking you guyz. Yes, for all relative clauses - which starts with who/that/which etc. twixt wrote: As you underlined it for another questions, is it not to much to have two relative pronouns that in the same phrase ?? Yes, the first that refers to depression and the second to society.
