The last part of underline portion says they are capable of doing 2 things. Even the last part of the underline sentence to convert the cellulose in wood products into sugar and to utilize it is not better than of converting the cellulose in wood products into sugar to utilize it. (idiom and meaning wise) [/quote]
Quote:
comparing size of colonies with ants
Quote:
same error as A
Quote:
but the termites with far more workers foraging for food sounds illogical. What is but parallel to? "have colonies" is not parallel to termites with far more workers.

Most clear and best of the lot

Ambigous them.

Quote:
- Colonies are compared to the ants themselves - Incorrect
Quote:
- Colonies are compared to the ants themselves - Incorrect
Quote:
- ", all of them are" is a run-on sentence. This is not an acceptable construction. "all of them capable of converting" can be accepted i.e. without a verb. Moreover "and utilizing" is not parallel to anything
Quote:
- "All of whom are" is a correct version; Correct usage of "those" for plural "colonies"
Quote:
SV disagreement - Colonies require plural "those" instead of singular "that"
