Quote:
1st split- has an antibacterial action / acts against bacteria
"acts against bacteria" is preffered over " has an antibacterial action". Because the latter is in Passive voice.
Eliminate A, B, C over this.
A) has an antibacterial action but by a mechanism that is neither understood nor similar to that of
B) has an antibacterial action by a mechanism that is not understood, however, nor similar to
C) has an antibacterial action, but it does so by a mechanism that is neither understood nor similar to that of
D) acts against bacteria by a mechanism that is not understood, however, and is different from- According to my understanding the difference is between the way Maesanin works and the way other antibiotics work. This option means that Maesanin is different from other antibiotics. In order to compare the way both medicines work, add a "that" before "is different from"
E) acts against bacteria, but it does so by a mechanism that is not understood and is different from that of-Correct. Here, "is different from" modifies "does so by a mechanism",it modifies the action done by the antibiotic.
IMO E.
Please correct me if I am wrong.
