OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
ABS, who is a fairly resistant material, has a wide range of applications, as many plastics do.
A. ABS, who is a fairly resistant material, has a wide range of applications, as many plastics do
This answer choice is grammatically incorrect. The relative pronoun who cannot begin a relative clause that modifies a non-human noun (ABS).
What helps us identify this question as a Relative Clause question as well as identify the mistake is the following Stop Sign:
- who, which, that, whose, whom
B. ABS, which is a fairly resistant material, has a wide range of applications, as many plastics
While this answer choice corrects the original Relative Clause mistake by using the correct relative pronoun which to refer to a non-human noun, it is grammatically incorrect. A comparative section beginning with as should always include a conjugated verb. The comparative section in this answer choice (as many plastics), however, does not include a verb.
What helps us identify this question as a Comparative question as well as the mistake is the following Stop Sign:
- Like, unlike, than, as
C. As many plastics do, ABS, which is a fairly resistant material, has a wide range of applications
This answer choice corrects the original Relative Clause mistake by using the correct relative pronoun (which) to refer to a non-human noun.
D. ABS, which is a fairly resistant material, has an application range that is wide, as many plastics do
While this answer choice corrects the original Relative Clause mistake by using the correct relative pronoun which to refer to a non-human noun, it is wordy and creates Redundancy with the phrase has an application range that is wide.
E. As many plastics, ABS, which is a fairly resistant material, has a wide range of applications
While this answer choice corrects the original Relative Clause mistake by using the correct relative pronoun which to refer to a non-human noun, it is grammatically incorrect. A comparative section beginning with as should always include a conjugated verb. The comparative section in this answer choice (as many plastics), however, does not include a verb.
What helps us identify this question as a Comparative question as well as the mistake is the following Stop Sign:
