Unlike its modern-day status as bioethically impermissible, lobotomy was initially hailed as a revolutionary therapeutic technique so much that the Portuguese neurologist Egas Moniz who introduced the procedure was in fact awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1949 for his contribution.

(A) Unlike its modern-day status as bioethically impermissible, lobotomy was initially hailed as a revolutionary therapeutic technique so much that the Portuguese neurologist Egas Moniz who introduced the procedure was - status is compared to lobotomy

E is wrong. Didn't read it right. Correct answer is "C"

The Answer is E.

The modern and initial status of lobotomy is correctly compared in this response. Also grammar and wording are also proper for this answer.

OA is E.
Unlike X,Y :In this construction,X and Y should be parallel.
A---Eliminated.Because it compares "modern-day status " to "lobotomy"
B---Semicolon followed by and.2 independent clauses have to be connected with either a semicolon or a comma followed by 'and'.This results in sentence fragment.
C---Incorrect comparison.
D---"such that" is not needed.Modern-day status and initial status should be compared.This option uses an incorrect comparison

So,we are left with E.

Forum dint allow me to post because of link in original message and because i had less than 5 posts and i got late in responding..

IMO C.
A-wrong comparison between the status of lobotomy and the lobotomy itself.
B-I see multiple issues which contradict each other. ine is wrong usage of AND after the semicolon with singular verb WAS.
C-correct
D-seems awkward.Also, wrong idiom such...that.... The correct ones are so..that or such X as Y...
E-This says that the intial status of lobotomy was hailed as revolutionay technique but logically lobotomy is the technique not its status

I would say answer is E because:

(A) no correct use of "so much"

(B) lobotomy is compared to its status (that's not accurate)

(C) Again, lobotomy is compared to its status (that's not accurate)

(D) " initially was hailed" is wrong (wrong location of adjective)

(E) In contrast to its modern-day status as bioethically impermissible, the initial status of lobotomy was hailed as a revolutionary technique; Egas Moniz, the Portuguese neurologist who introduced the procedure, was THIS IS CORRECT

The answer is 'C'.

A- compares status to lobotomy
B - has unnecessary ;and along
C - Correct. Concise and makes sense.
D - that of - not parallel to status
E - Satus cannot be hailed as revolutionary

C is Correct IMO

Patthetuck

According to the rules, the first person to provide the correct answer with an explanation why wins.
I feel this explanation is a bit on the spartan side, but it works.

Thank you, bb! I realized when I was writing it that it was extremely succinct and I stand behind my belief that I did so because I was afraid of someone answering before me.
