A. Whereas heat transferred between the ocean and the atmosphere occurs more rapidly when the ocean is warmer than the air, it is slow when the ocean is colder.
B. Unlike the slow process of heat transfer between the ocean and the atmosphere when the ocean is colder than the air, heat transfers more rapidly when the ocean is warmer.

comparison issue imo, its A B is also good but not parallel added two tags-- modifier issues -I missed completely mikeCoolBoy wrote: Whereas heat transferred between the ocean and the atmosphere occurs more rapidly when the ocean is warmer than the air, it is slow when the ocean is colder.

IMO C
well i am very bad at sc but i will to make an honest attempt....
my first logic is more is used in Original s/c as an adj and hence cannot modify an adverb(rapidly)..hence all choices with more rapidly is wrong..that eliminates A,B and D
left is C and E .
in E there is a comparison error
hence C....
i luv to learn from my mistake

A. Whereas heat transferred between the ocean and the atmosphere occurs more rapidly when the ocean is warmer than the air, it is slow when the ocean is colder.
B. Unlike the slow process of heat transfer between the ocean and the atmosphere when the ocean is colder than the air, heat transfers more rapidly when the ocean is warmer.
C. The transfer of heat between the ocean and the atmosphere is slow when the ocean is colder than the air and more rapid when the ocean is warmer.
D. Transferring heat between the ocean and the atmosphere occurs slowly when the ocean is colder than the air and more rapidly when it is warmer.
E. When the ocean is colder than the atmosphere, heat transferred between them occurs slowly, unlike the more rapid transfer occurring when the ocean is warmer.
A- Transferred - Past Tense, it is slow- Present Tense. Hence not parallel
B- "Unlike the slow process......, the rapid process...." not mentioned. Hence again not parallel
D- Last part of the sentence "...more rapidly when it is warmer", here we do not know "it" refers to air or water
E- "When" does not refer to any time- awkward and wordy. Also not parallel. Slowly/ rapidly is mentioned as slowly/ more rapid
C- is the correct answer. Simple tense, is parallel and not wordy

A. Whereas heat transferred between the ocean and the atmosphere occurs more rapidly when the ocean is warmer than the air, it is slow when the ocean is colder.
HEAT TRANSFERRED is used as if its the amount of HEAT TRANSFERRED which occurs
more rapidly while its the RATE of heta transferred which is under question
IT is way too far from the initended referrant HEAT TRANF.
OUTB. Unlike the slow process of heat transfer between the ocean and the atmosphere when the ocean is colder than the air, heat transfers more rapidly when the ocean is warmer.
"(Unlike the slow......atmsphere) when x" SHOULD HAVE BEEN "(Unlike the slow......atmsphere) which takes place when x"
SLOW PROCESS is being pitted against HEAT TRANSFERS....OUT
C. The transfer of heat between the ocean and the atmosphere is slow when the ocean is colder than the air and more rapid when the ocean is warmer.
PRECISE AND CORRECT
D. Transferring heat between the ocean and the atmosphere occurs slowly when the ocean is colder than the air and more rapidly when it is warmer.
TRANSFERRING HEAT is not idiomatic,TRANSFER OF HEAT is
IT is ambiguous..OUT
E. When the ocean is colder than the atmosphere, heat transferred between them occurs slowly, unlike the more rapid transfer occurring when the ocean is warmer.
HEAT TRANSFERRED shoould have been TRANSFER OF HEAT
THEM is ambiguous
OVERALL structure lacks paralellsim..OUT

transferred is not a verb here so you're reasoning is not correct. ramgmat wrote: B- "Unlike the slow process......, the rapid process...." not mentioned. Hence again not parallel
rather than parallelism is a comparison error ramgmat wrote: D- Last part of the sentence "...more rapidly when it is warmer", here we do not know "it" refers to air or water
good point ramgmat wrote: E- "When" does not refer to any time- awkward and wordy. Also not parallel. Slowly/ rapidly is mentioned as slowly/ more rapid
Can you elaborate? Does "when" have a time reference in the correct option C?

Actually IT refers to heat transferred. But you pinpointed the problem with that. sasen wrote: B. Unlike the slow process of heat transfer between the ocean and the atmosphere when the ocean is colder than the air, heat transfers more rapidly when the ocean is warmer.

well done sasen wrote: D. Transferring heat between the ocean and the atmosphere occurs slowly when the ocean is colder than the air and more rapidly when it is warmer.

I think you mean that in THIS CONTEXT transferring heat is not correct. You can use transferring heat correctly [/quote] Quote: C. The transfer of heat between the ocean and the atmosphere is slow when the ocean is colder than the air and more rapid when the ocean is warmer.
PRECISE AND CORRECT
yes

i luv to learn from my mistake can you elaborate? Do you mean that you cannot use more with rapidly? rapidly is an adverb and more is an adj as per rule an adj can never modify an adverb , it can only modify a noun hence more being a noun modifier is correctly modifying rapid a noun in C and E while in E there is a comparison error.... therefore C is the best

therefore C is the best I think that more can be an adjective or an adverb, so you can write I run more quickly than my brother and it is fine.

I think in this sentence it refers to the heat transferred .... When you have a parallel structure such as Whereas X, Y, While X,Y, Because X,Y, etc if there is a pronoun at the beginning of Y refers to the subject of X, as long as both agree in number and gender. If you remove the modifiers from the sentence Whereas heat occurs more rapidly when the ocean is warmer than the air, it is slow when the ocean is colder The main problem is that it is not heat what occurs more rapidly or is slow but rather the transfer of the heat. You can eliminate options A and E based on this.

Whereas heat transferred between the ocean and the atmosphere occurs more rapidly when the ocean is warmer than the air, it is slow when the ocean is colder. B. Unlike the slow process of heat transfer between the ocean and the atmosphere when the ocean is colder than the air, heat transfers more rapidly when the ocean is warmer. bad comparison, slow process is compared to heat transferrsC. The transfer of heat between the ocean and the atmosphere is slow when the ocean is colder than the air and more rapid when the ocean is warmer. GoodD. Transferring heat between the ocean and the atmosphere occurs slowly when the ocean is colder than the air and more rapidly when it is warmer. E. When the ocean is colder than the atmosphere, heat transferred between them occurs slowly, unlike the more rapid transfer occurring when the ocean is warmer. bad comparison

+1 for C because:
In this question the subject is the transfer of heat and which is very well explained in C and secondly it is concise as well
