The celestial equator divides an imagined celestial globe into two hemispheres just as Earth’s equator does, and the center of Earth’s own galaxy, the Milky Way, lies to the south of the celestial equator.


(A) the center of Earth’s own galaxy, the Milky Way, lies

(B) the center of the Milky Way, the galaxy where Earth is located, lies

(C) Earth’s own galaxy, which lies at the Milky Way’s center, lies

(D) the Milky Way’s center of Earth’s own galaxy is located

(E) the Milky Way, which is located at Earth’s galaxy’s center, lies




This is a SC Butler Question




OFFICIAL EXPLANATION



The correct answer is (B).

The underlined part leaves it unclear whether the Milky Way is the name of our galaxy or the name for the center of our galaxy. Choice (B) reconstructs the underlined part to clear up the ambiguity.
