Hi
I am a verbal live student
Of all the vast tides of migration that have swept through history, maybe none is more concentrated as
the wave that brought 12 million immigrants onto American shores in little more than three decades.
(A) maybe none is more concentrated as
(B) it may be that none is more concentrated as
(C) perhaps it is none that is more concentrated
than
(D) maybe it is none that was more concentrated
than
(E) perhaps none was more concentrated than
OGs explanation that "C" is wrong is that the comparison should be made in the past tense because the later part of the sentence is in the past tense.
Can someone please clarify the following...
1. The event of migration to American shores has happened in the past.
2. But this event is being compared to the events until now.
3. The fact that the American migration is the most concentrated is still valid now..
If the above facts are trues then shouldn't the comparison be in the present tense. In other words the comparison is valid even now ?
