MartyMurray great question.. I nailed it .But could you please post the OE ? I want to check my reasoning
As is “ordinary” chocolate, which can be soft and sweet or dark and bitter, white chocolate contains most of the same ingredients, with the exception of cocoa solids, the darker, more flavorful parts of the cocoa mass.
(A) As is “ordinary” chocolate, which can be soft and sweet or dark and bitter, white chocolate contains most of the same ingredients, with the exception of
This choices illogical compares how "ordinary chocolate is with that white chocolate contains.(B) Like the way in which “ordinary” chocolate, which can be soft and sweet or dark and bitter, is made, the way in which white chocolate is made is similar to it, except in that there is no use of
This choice illogically states that both the way in which "ordinary" chocolate is made and the way in which white chocolate is made are similar to some unknown "it". The pronoun 'it" could refer to '"ordinary" chocolate,' but then the sentence would illogically compare the way in which white chocolate is made with "ordinary" chocolate. Also, this version says that there is no use of cocoa solids without quite making clear in what there is no use of cocoa solids.(C) Just as they are in “ordinary chocolate,” which can be soft and sweet or dark and bitter, the ingredients used in making white chocolate are mostly the same, the difference being the
This choice seems to be meant to say that the ingredients in one kind of chocolate are the same for the most part as the ingredients in the other, but actually, it conveys the illogical meaning that the ingredients in both "ordinary" chocolate and white chocolate are "mostly the same" as something, without indicating what they are the same as. Given that meaning, the part that says "the difference being the cocoa solids" just adds more nonsense to an already nonsensical sentence.(D) Used in the making of “ordinary” chocolate, which can be soft and sweet or dark and bitter, but not included among the ingredients of white chocolate are
This choice sounds funny at first, but when we combine it with the non-underlined portion, we get a sentence that clearly conveys the logical meaning that the cocoa solids are used in the making of "ordinary" chocolate but are not included among the ingredients of white chocolate.
Notice, this choice is correct but written to look incorrect, as is typical of many correct answers in SC questions.(E) The making of “ordinary” chocolate, which can be soft and sweet or dark and bitter, is like white chocolate, and contains most of the same ingredients, containing also
This choice illogically compares the making of "ordinary chocolate with white chocolate itself. Also, this version conveys the illogical meaning that the making of ordinary chocolate contains cocoa solids.
