it should be between A and B because the idiom is "contrast with" or "contrast to". being is not acceptable in C. "that which" is correct but "to be" - i am not sure.

so could be A, but unsure.

I think "contrast to" is the right idiom..
Only C has it, but it has a bigger evil "being"

but still wud go for C

I'll take A for this one

"contrast with" is correct.

IMO, B sounds awkward

13. Frances Wright's book on America contrasted the republicanism of the United States with what she saw as the aristocratic and corrupt institutions of England.

(A) with what she saw as
(B) with that which she saw to be
(C) to that she saw being
(D) and that which she saw as
(E) and what she saw to be

My confusion is regarding the use of pronoun "she" with a possessive antecedent "Frances Wright's " ?
The questions is one of retired GMAT question.

ya the use of 'she' is making it very confusing...i stick to the current sentence..whats the OA

Well my take is consider it same as 'being', the last resort in the options.

(D) and that which she saw as

Hi E-gmat team,

Below is my approach for this question:


(A) with what she saw as


(B) with that which she saw to be
'with that which ' is an awkward construction.


(C) to that she saw being
Usage of 'Being' is incorrect here.

(D) and that which she saw as
As per our concept file, 'contrasted with' and 'contrasted to' are correct idioms. so we can eliminate D.


(E) and what she saw to be
Same as D.

After eliminating all other answer choices , we are left with 'A' .but i am not clear with the usage of 'as' in option A.

As per our concept file, AS has 4 types of usage:

function
comparision
reason
Simultaneous action

but the usage of AS in this option doesn't fit in any of the types.

Could you please clarify?

Rajan

Both idioms are correct > "contrast to" is preferred to "contrast with

Usage depends on the meaning of the sentence

A) with what she saw as
(B) with that which she saw to be . awkward usage , "A" is much better than this
(C) to that she saw being > Out for being
(D) and that which she saw as > we need a "to" or "with"
(E) and what she saw to be > we need a "to" or "with"
