A. than full-color movies are as creating interesting imagery depends mostly on whether the director has a deep understanding of cinematography
B. as full-color movies as creating interesting imagery depends mostly on whether the director has a deep understanding of cinematography
C. as full-color movies are as creating interesting imagery depends mostly on whether the director has a deep understanding of cinematography or not
D. as full-color movies are as creating interesting imagery depends mostly on if the director has a deep understanding of cinematography
E. as full-color movies are as creating interesting imagery depends mostly on whether the director has a deep understanding of cinematography
Meaning: B/W movies are as visually impressive as colour movies are and B/W movies create interesting imagery depends mostly on the deep understanding of the director.
Mistake analysis :
The structure as... as... creates a comparison. The first as is followed by an adjective or adverb. The second as is followed by a noun, a phrase, or even a whole clause.So comparison is between B/W and colour movies.
A) This option is out, it has to be as X as Y.
Now options B to E remain.
B) as impressive as full movies are only then the comparison if complete, here after colour movies it is AS. --> Incorrect.
C) Whether is sufficient. Whether or not is not needed.
D)
’Whether’ for ALTERNATIVE and ’IF’ for Condition or Hypothetical situation , so here we are dealing with alternative so WHETHER is correct.
E) correct idiom and correct alternative option.
Option E is correct answer.
