All, I need to pick all your brains in identifying when can we work with implied verbs/pronouns and when can we not. See below the question:
I am sure most of you must have figured out that in the last part of the sentence, "because they are ...", they clearly has no antecedent and hence the sentence is written incorrectly.
My question is that in the correct choice D, shouldn't are in "Because new small businesses are growing and seldom in equilibrium..." be used before seldom in equilibrium too? In other words shouldn't the sentence say "Because new small businesses are growing and are seldom in equilibrium..".
Similarly in the later part of the sentence shouldn't it read "...financial concepts of assets turnover and liquidity ratios do not apply to them in the same way as they do to established big businesses." instead of ".....financial concepts of assets turnover and liquidity ratios do not apply to them in the same way as to established big businesses."
My overarching question is that how should one find out if the implied verb/pronoun is used correctly or not.
