hey noboru, the below explanation should help. Quote: Quote:D) whereas just over 33% of the energy comes from nuclear power in Germany
this sentence is written in a way whose meaning is at best ambiguous and at worst incorrect.
one possible meaning, if not the meaning, is that 33% of "the energy" (we don't know where this energy is, or where it's used) comes from "nuclear power in germany". i.e., the power itself is in germany (whatever that means), but "the energy" is we-don't-know-where.
Quote:E) compared with the energy from nuclear power in Germany, where it is just over 33%
first, false comparison: the earlier part doesn't mention "the energy from nuclear power in france", so this isn't parallel. (the earlier part mentions a percentage of ALL power in france.)
second, and more obviously, the pronoun "it" doesn't have a legitimate antecedent, for essentially the same reason as in (a).
