Acme, the family oriented entertainment company, has moved away from traditional family programming and now draws on the production both of adult entertainers who work for magazines and of those in the movie industry.


(A) now draws on the production both of adult entertainers who work for magazines and of those

(B) now draws on the works of adult entertainers, both those who work for magazines and those who work

(C) it draws on the works of adult entertainers now, both those working for magazines and who work

(D) draws now on the works both of adult entertainers working for magazines and who are working

(E) draws on the works now of both adult entertainers working for magazines and those

MANHATTAN REVIEW OFFICIAL EXPLANATION:



The sentence as written is incorrect as it places ‘both’ too far from the parts of the sentence to which it refers. B corrects this error. C unnecessarily repeats the subject using the pronoun ‘it’. It also does not have parallel structure in that it uses ‘work’ and ‘working’. D and E repeat the problem with the placement of ‘both’. D is not parallel in that it uses ‘working’ and ‘are working’. E implies that there are only two adult entertainers. B is correct.

(A) now draws on the production both of adult entertainers who work for magazines and of those -- incorrect parallelism. Both A and B

(B) now draws on the works of adult entertainers, both those who work for magazines and those who work -- Correct.

(C) it draws on the works of adult entertainers now, both those working for magazines and who work -- both X and Y. Incorrect parallelism. Eliminate. Also, there is a pronoun ambiguity in the usage of "it" - reference to Acme or family programming.

(D) draws now on the works both of adult entertainers working for magazines and who are working -- "now draws" is the correct usage. Parallelism is incorrect. Both A and B is the correct usage.

(E) draws on the works now of both adult entertainers working for magazines and those -- same as D.
