Hi Noboru,

in D choice...'their' can have 2 antecedents.
their --> farmers
their --> cows

So hw D can be ans
plz correct me if I m wrong.


(D) farmers, according to one agricultural engineer, could use the warmth from cows’ milk to heat their houses

Here Cows' are possessive noun and hence theirs should be used for cows'.Therefore Their has a clear antecedent,which is farmers.

the answer should be D no doubt in it .
Their can only refer to the farmer .Its cows'(possessive) and not cow .

it is between C and E. yes it is modifier problem ... electric pumps ...who installs? an engineer ..

so I go with C for clarity and active voice.


i think you mistook, actually engineer is reporting, only farmer installs ..



Who installs whatever.....
Who knows.....? Farmers are beneficial.....???? Who cares, the subject has to be beneficial

What if the engineer has to report after installing and verifying, I seriously don't know the practicality behind these actions...

However, I hope such ambiguous(even partially) q's don't come.

I don't say D is wrong either...

Thanks

D is the best as "farmers" is placed correctly
