If the recent Harvard study on analyzing social cues is accurate, the difference in comprehension between the Jahai people of the Malay Peninsula and English-speaking Europeans was so pronounced that the gap in an earlier study, done three decades ago by researchers at MIT, between two similar groups, the Kalahari bushmen and English-speaking Americans.

To test their color and odor naming abilities, the researchers asked members of each group to identify colors on swatches and odors trapped inside pens. When it came to naming more than a dozen odors including leather, fish and banana, the differences were clear. The Semaq Beri used particular terms to describe odor qualities. But when the Semelai tried to identify the source, they often got it wrong. The difference between the two groups was as pronounced as the gap in the earlier study between the Jahai and English-speaking Americans.

Imo C “as pronounced as” would correctly indicate that the level of difference in comprehension is similar in both studies.

Hi, But wouldn't the sentence become illogical " was as pronounced as the gap"??
