Hi ,
in option A and B, it is said:
A) a term coined from the tulip craze of the seventeenth-century
B) a term coined from the seventeenth-century tulip craze
what is the basic difference between above two versions?
also, in A, why didn't we make a list of 4 things?
A) Examples include speculative bubbles in South Seas trading rights in the 1720s, Victorian real estate in the 1880s, the U.S. stock market in the 1920s, and the obsession for Beanie Babies in the 1990s.
also in B, Examples include SOMETHING, which were all the past tense like 1720s, 1880s, and 1920s, as well as 1980s. Here, every list is from past event. So, why we use INCLUDE here. Shouldn't it be INCLUDED?
Analogy:
I got (past form of GET) admission in Harvard university in 2000 for Masters program, in Stanford university in 2002 for MBA program, in University of California in 2007 for Phd program.
So, is it possible to write:
I gEt (present form of verb) admission in Harvard university in 2000 for Masters program, in Stanford university in 2002 for MBA program, in University of California in 2007 for Phd program.
or, am I missing something?
Thanks...
The first three items must be grouped separately because the preposition "in" covers those three.
.. IN (A, B and C) = (IN A), (IN B) and (IN C).
However the preposition IN should not cover the fourth item "obsession".
In other words, the speculative bubbles were IN A (South Seas trading rights in the 1720s), B (Victorian real estate in the 1880s), and C (the U.S. stock market in the 1920s), but not in D (the obsession for Beanie Babies in the 1990s). Here "speculative bubbles" and "obsession" are parallel - These are the two things that are
