to solve this long underlined question, we need an ability to realize grammatical role of each phrase quickly. when we read newyorktimes, try to realize grammatical role of each phrase. grammatical role of a phrase in a sentence is the reference of that phrase. in other words, we have to realize the phrase that a phrase is modifying.
when we read a long sentences, we need to realize the grammatical role of each phrase, if we do not realize grammatical role , the phrase is wrong. if we see grammatical role make no sense, the phrase is wrong
