Project SC Butler: Day 134 Sentence Correction (SC1)



OFFICIAL EXPLANATION

THE PROMPT

First prepared by the Arabs in the 15th century, the humble sandwich, named so because of its association with the Earl of Sandwich, is a breakfast staple of people all across the world.

THE OPTIONS

Quote:
(A) First prepared by the Arabs in the 15th century, the humble sandwich, named so because of its association with the Earl of Sandwich, is a breakfast staple of people all across the world.

• Introductory phrase correctly modifies sandwich
• the humble sandwich is followed by a nonessential modifier set off by commas. Past participle (verbED) "named" correctly refers to sandwich
• three phrases later, we find the correct verb IS

Quote:
(B) Having been first prepared by the Arabs in the 15th century, the humble sandwich is a breakfast staple of people all across the world, named so because of its association with the Earl of Sandwich.

• Having been is not automatically wrong. But "having been verbED" typically implies causal connection, and none exists here.
-- Having been sick, he could not meet the project deadline.
• Compare to A. Option A is better.
• past participles (verbEDs) modify the immediately preceding noun.
The world is not "named so" because of its association with the Earl of Sandwich. Last I checked, the world was not named "sandwich."
• The modifier named so is to far from its noun

Quote:
(C) The humble sandwich, first prepared by the Arabs in the 15th century and is a breakfast staple of people all across the world, is named so because of its association with the Earl of Sandwich.

• Usage of IS in first prepared by the Arabs is nonsensical and ruins parallelism
• The sandwich, first Xed [past participle] and IS a Y [verb phrase], is Zed because of blah blah blah. Wrong.
The and signals parallelism. The word IS ruins parallelism.

Quote:
(D) Named so because of its association with the Earl of Sandwich, first prepared by the Arabs in the 15th century, and a breakfast staple of people all across the world, the humble sandwich.

• NO VERB
• In the three intro phrases, named and prepared are parallel in the list of three introductory phrases, but a staple is not.

Quote:
(E) The Earl of Sandwich, after whom the humble sandwich is named, first prepared it with the Arabs in the 15th century, now a breakfast staple of people all across the world.
[/quote]
• MEANING is distorted rather hilariously: The Earl of Sandwich did not make sandwiches with the Arabs in the 15th century.
• now a breakfast staple is too far from what it modifies—the humble sandwich

Answer A

When we read a modifier that describes something, whatever the modifier describes needs to be as close as possible to the noun.
In options B and E, the modifiers "named so" and "now a breakfast staple" are too far from the noun

Modifier rules for past participles
(1) an introductory modifier that is anchored by a past participle (a verbed) MUST modify the subject of the immediately following clause.
In option (A), First prepared . . . refers to the subject of the subsequent clause.

(2) a past participle that comes after a noun modifies the immediately preceding noun, with or without a comma in between.
In option (A), named correctly modifies sandwich
In option (C), although other errors exist, prepared correctly modifies sandwich

Option (A) displays a well-balanced sentence. One modifier precedes the noun/subject, another modifier follows the subject immediately, and the sentence is clear.

COMMENTS

cristianosubo and StrugglingGmat2910 , welcome to SC Butler. :)

Arvind42 , Raxit85 , Xylan , prashanths , J2S2019 , firas92 , Archit3110 , and amitanshumaity , glad to see you all again.

I am happy that the very cool Game of Timers did not steal you all!

Most of these answers are very good.
Those who explained their answers get kudos.
A couple of you, be a little more thorough, please? Like, three words more.

I will use an example that is not part of this question.

Wearing a neon pink helmet and white fringed cowboy boots, the woman who I know from school just rode by on a motorcycle like a bat out of hell, and it was hilarious.
Someone writes: PRONOUN ERROR
What the heck are you talking about?
If I am just starting to study SC or really frustrated generally, I might not even know that it needs a noun antecedent.
If I have learned a little, I may understand IT issue, but I might not know why who/whom is a problem.
We don't know who will read these posts after us.
If we write pronoun errors, the first person has no idea what we mean and the second person could interpret errors as singular. (The word is not singular. But if the second person does not know that who/whom is an issue, she will think that errors is a typo or will be lost.)

You get the idea. It does not matter that others have clarified the error.
Maybe the way you phrase ideas "works" for a certain sort of person. Give 'em a chance to understand you. :)

Enjoy the rest of your weekend. :)

(A) First prepared by the Arabs in the 15th century, the humble sandwich, named so because of its association with the Earl of Sandwich, is a breakfast staple of people all across the world.
Correct. Both modifiers close to the noun sandwich

(B) Having been first prepared by the Arabs in the 15th century, the humble sandwich is a breakfast staple of people all across the world, named so because of its association with the Earl of Sandwich.
'named so ...' should modify sandwich and so should be close to the noun

(C) The humble sandwich, first prepared by the Arabs in the 15th century and is a breakfast staple of people all across the world, is named so because of its association with the Earl of Sandwich.
'is a breakfast staple of people all across the world' should be the main clause, but here it is a subordinate clause to the main clause 'is named so....'

(D) Named so because of its association with the Earl of Sandwich, first prepared by the Arabs in the 15th century, and a breakfast staple of people all across the world, the humble sandwich.
No complete clause - sentence fragment

(E) The Earl of Sandwich, after whom the humble sandwich is named, first prepared it with the Arabs in the 15th century, now a breakfast staple of people all across the world.
'now a breakfast staple...' is modifying Arabs in the 15th century

Answer should be A.

IMO Correct answer is A

First prepared by the Arabs in the 15th century, the humble sandwich, named so because of its association with the Earl of Sandwich, is a breakfast staple of people all across the world.

(A) First prepared by the Arabs in the 15th century, the humble sandwich, named so because of its association with the Earl of Sandwich, is a breakfast staple of people all across the world - No Error, "Named", Verb+ed modifier correctly modifies the closest noun before the "," i.e, the humble sandwich

(B) Having been first prepared by the Arabs in the 15th century, the humble sandwich is a breakfast staple of people all across the world, named so because of its association with the Earl of Sandwich. -Incorrect modification, ",named...." modifies the world

(C) The humble sandwich, first prepared by the Arabs in the 15th century and is a breakfast staple of people all across the world, is named so because of its association with the Earl of Sandwich. - Parallelism marker AND present here, & not a parallel structure before & after AND; also Modification error

(D) Named so because of its association with the Earl of Sandwich, first prepared by the Arabs in the 15th century, and a breakfast staple of people all across the world, the humble sandwich. Modification error, When Verb+ed modifier is introduced at the start of the sentence with comma, it modifies the subject of the sentence.

(E) The Earl of Sandwich, after whom the humble sandwich is named, first prepared it with the Arabs in the 15th century, now a breakfast staple of people all across the world. - Changes the meaning

(A) First prepared by the Arabs in the 15th century, the humble sandwich, named so because of its association with the Earl of Sandwich, is a breakfast staple of people all across the world.

IMO, the correct answer

(B) Having been first prepared by the Arabs in the 15th century, the humble sandwich is a breakfast staple of people all across the world, named so because of its association with the Earl of Sandwich.

i. Establishes an unnecessary causality between "first prepared by the Arabs" and "the humble sandwich is a breakfast staple"

ii. Modifier error

(C) The humble sandwich, first prepared by the Arabs in the 15th century and is a breakfast staple of people all across the world, is named so because of its association with the Earl of Sandwich.

i. 'and is...' brings in a parallelism error.
ii. The modifier "is named so because of its association with the Earl of Sandwich" modifies the wrong clause as it is supposed to modify the subject, "the humble sandwich" but is placed too far away from it.

(D) Named so because of its association with the Earl of Sandwich, first prepared by the Arabs in the 15th century, and a breakfast staple of people all across the world, the humble sandwich.

i. Modifier placed too far away from subject.
ii. Run on - No verb for the subject 'the humble sandwich'

(E) The Earl of Sandwich, after whom the humble sandwich is named, first prepared it with the Arabs in the 15th century, now a breakfast staple of people all across the world.

i. Awkward construction and distorted meaning.

First prepared by the Arabs in the 15th century, the humble sandwich, named so because of its association with the Earl of Sandwich, is a breakfast staple of people all across the world.

Meaning Analysis: The humble sandwich was first prepared by the Arabs in the 15th century
the humble sandwich is named so because of its association with Earl of Sandwich.
The humble sandwich is a breakfast staple of people all across the world.

Sentence Structure: Understand how the modifiers are placed and which entity it modifies is the key here.

First prepared by the Arabs in the 15th century--> Modifies -->the humble sandwich
named so because of its association with the Earl of Sandwich (Verb-ed modifier) --> Modifies --> The humble sandwich
is a breakfast staple of people all across the world.--> Verb and object of the clause --> Subject ( The humble sandwich)

So, the structure is --> Modifier, Subject, Modifier, Verb+object.[Understand how beautifully the sentence is set up].

All the modifiers modify their intended entities and S-V is accounted for.

IMHO A

Option B has the modifier "named so.." very far from the noun it is modifying (humble sandwich)
In option C, the use of "and" is wrong. When "and" is used, the two things it connects has to be parallel grammatically and logically. Here, "first prepared.." is a past participle modifier whereas "is a breakfast.." is a clause.
Option D is a classic error. "Named so.." has to modify Humble sandwich but that is not the case here.
E is really messed up. It has changed the whole meaning of the sentence. Hence wrong.

Hence IMO Option A is correct answer.
