A revolution has taken place in medical science as a result of the introduction of new methods of surgically implanting artificial and human organs.

a. the introduction of new methods of surgically implanting artificial and human organs

b. the introduction of new surgical implantation methods of human and artificial organs.....The phrase methods of organs is completely nonsensical.

c. the surgical introduction of new artificial and human organ implantation methods.........this means that implantation methods are surgically introduced which does not make sense in meaning.

d. the introduction of implantation methods of new artificial and human organs................
    the construction introduction of.....x.....of......y does not sound make sense with the remaining part of the sentence.
    Also methods are new not organs.

e. the introduction of methods of surgically implanting new artificial and human organs............same error as in D.

(A) the introduction of new methods of surgically implanting artificial and human organs.
(B) the introduction of new surgical implantation methods of human and artificial organs.
(C) the surgical introduction of new artificial and human organ implantation methods.
(D) the introduction of implantation methods of new artificial and human organs.
(E) the introduction of methods of surgically implanting new artificial and human organs.


KAPLAN OFFICIAL EXPLANATION:



A The original is long-winded and probably not the best one you’ve ever read. GMAT sentences don’t have to be beautiful; they just have to be correct (about one-fifth of the sentence corrections in each set will be correct as written in the stem). The wrong choices here are nonsensical. In (B), what’s “methods of . . .organs”? There’s no such thing. In (C), what’s “surgical introduction of . . .methods”? (D) and (E) say that the artificial and human organs are new. But it’s the methods that are new.

B is wrong. ‘surgical implantation methods’ makes it sound like the methods belong to the organs.
D incorrectly implies that the organs are new, not the methods.
E does the same thing.
C incorrectly describes the introduction of the methods as surgical ,rather than the methods.

A is the only correct option.

(A) the introduction of new methods of surgically implanting artificial and human organs.
The meaning is perfect therefore let us hang on to it

(B) the introduction of new surgical implantation methods of human and artificial organs.
The wordings aren't upto the mark due to which the meaning isn't correct therefore out

(C) the surgical introduction of new artificial and human organ implantation methods.
the methods were never surgically introduced , which just doesn't make any sense therefore out

(D) the introduction of implantation methods of new artificial and human organs.
what kind os implantation method is a serious question and the organs quoted as new should be avoided therefore out

(E) the introduction of methods of surgically implanting new artificial and human organs
the organs are never knew the methods are the recent addition therefore out

THerefore IMO A

Hello,

I can't really understand why: "new surgical implantation methods of human and artificial organs." is wrong.

Can anyone explain please?

In feel like I often have this problem with prep phrase.

Thanks
