Although I am able to eliminate answer choices B and D as considered to be is incorrect idiom. Why is Option A and Option E incorrect? Experts mikemcgarry Vyshak broall Please guide


Hi....
A and E restrict the cherries by using THAT..
For example..
The moon, which is 27% the size of earth, is approximately 4 lac km away from earth..
So there is one moon and we are talking about it..

The moon that is 27% the size of earth is approximately 4 lac km away from earth..
So now there may be many moons but we are talking of the one that is 27% of earth's size..

Hope you understand why A and Evare out

Hi chetan2u,

Nice example. You cleared the difference between "that" and "which" in a lucid way. Cheers!!

could you say that A is wrong because it says "cherries" are "one" of the fruits?

My understanding of the meaning of the sentence is that, some particular cherries with all the vitamins listed are considered on of the most nutritional fruits... Option C distorts this meaning... The OA says 'The Cherry',which...
I feel the use of the article 'the' before cherry is very wrong, just like saying
'The mango' is totally wrong if you are not talking about a particular kind of mango.
For me Option A is just fine.

Please, can an expert help out here.

Hi Kem12,

Use of article "the" is ok here as we are talking about the particular effects of Cherry not of another fruit. So i think of the is fine.
A can not be the answer as that is used to limit the scope of the noun and it signifies some particular kind of Cherry. We need which here as we are not discussing some particular kind of Cherry.

Cherries that contain beta carotene, vitamin C, potassium, magnesium, iron and fiber, are considered one of the most nutritional fruits and help relieve the pain of arthritis, reduce risk factors for heart disease and diabetes, prevent memory loss and delay the ageing process.

A. Cherries that contain beta carotene, vitamin C, potassium, magnesium, iron and fiber, are considered one of the most nutritional fruits and help relieve the pain of arthritis, reduce risk factors for heart disease and diabetes, prevent memory loss and delay the ageing process.
B. Cherries, which contain beta carotene, vitamin C, potassium, magnesium, iron and fiber, are considered to be one of the most nutritional fruits and helps relieve the pain of arthritis, reduce risk factors for heart disease and diabetes, prevent memory loss and delay the ageing process.
C. The cherry, which contains beta carotene, vitamin C, potassium, magnesium, iron and fiber, is considered one of the most nutritional fruits and helps relieve the pain of arthritis, reduce risk factors for heart disease and diabetes, prevent memory loss and delay the ageing process.
D. The cherry, which contains beta carotene, vitamin C, potassium, magnesium, iron and fiber, is considered to be one of the most nutritional fruits and helps relieve the pain of arthritis, reduce risk factors for heart disease and diabetes, prevents memory loss and delay the ageing process.

Hi...
you have missed out on choice E

anyways point one should note..

1) that vs which
here we dont want to restrict cherries, as all cherries contain vitamins etc..
so which, a non-restrictive relative pronoun that introduces non-restrictive clause, is correct here

eliminate A

2) considered vs considered to be
considered is correct idiom
B and D out

3) parallelism
Only C is left. lets see how it maintains parallelism
The cherry, which contains beta carotene, vitamin C, potassium, magnesium, iron and fiber, is considered one of the most nutritional fruits and helps relieve the pain of arthritis, reduce risk factors for heart disease and diabetes, prevent memory loss and delay the ageing process.
the BLUE colored are parallel and RED colored too..
the RED colored are supposed to be preceded by HELPS, but is omitted to make sentence more concise..
The cherry, which contains beta carotene, vitamin C, potassium, magnesium, iron and fiber, is considered one of the most nutritional fruits and helps relieve the pain of arthritis, helps reduce risk factors for heart disease and diabetes, helps prevent memory loss and helps delay the ageing process.

ans C

Hi Chetan2u
Thanks for the explanation. But I have a doubt on use of "help" with another verb(reduce, delay, prevent etc.) of the same form.
Don't you think the second verb should be of the form -ing or noun.

Helps relieving xxxx, reducing xxxxx, preventing xxxx & delaying xxxxx.

Isn't it incorrect to write -
The new wheelchair helps a person get down from car easily.

I think correct version would be -
The new wheelchair helps a person getting down from car easily.

Hi arvind910619,

How can we be sure that we are not talking about a specific kind of cherry? Why we need to make the statement broader? For me, a specific kind of cherry can perfectly have some specific benefits.

Please your help
Thanks,
Diego.
