A. There are no legal limits, as there are for cod and haddock, on the size of monkfish that can be caught, a circumstance that contributes to their depletion through overfishing
B. There are no legal limits on the size of monkfish that can be caught, unlike cod or haddock, a circumstance that contributes to depleting them because they are being overfished.
C. There are legal limits on the size of cod and haddock that can be caught, but not for monkfish, which contributes to its depletion through overfishing .
D. Unlike cod and haddock, there are no legal size limits on catching monkfish, which contributes to its depletion by being overfished.
E. Unlike catching cod and haddock, there are no legal size limits on catching monkfish, contributing to their depletion because they are overfished.
Please explain. Tks
in A, 'their' refers to what? monkfish? .. didn't get the whole meaning of this choice..
other than A, remaining 4 choices are clearly wrong but I am not confident on A either ..
what is the source for this question?
I agree. I eliminated option A because couldn't find reference to their, since the sentence said size of monkfish and not monkfish.How do i avoid this and request someone to provide some clarity to think in future. Thanks
Even you reject A at first time, you can come back to A after realizing other choices have obvious errors.
No compromises with B,D,E : unlike should be Noun-Noun comparison (here it logically compares size with cod or haddock
Now you are left with C: When you read C you will realize the mistake:
Quote:
C. There are legal limits on the size of cod and haddock that can be caught, but not for monkfish, which contributes to monkfish's depletion through overfishing .
Immediately alert: that its is wrong
Now you would find A can be checked again

you can realize , A can be re-read as :
There are no legal limits on the size of monkfish that can be caught
as there are for (size of) cod and haddock,, a circumstance that contributes to
their depletion through overfishing
A and B went to their school. ( their is right to refer A and B )
So you still have some reasoning to choose A and strong reasons to reject B,C,D and E.
hence A becomes the BEST CHOICE among available options.
I hope it helps.
