Verbal Review 2020 NEW QUESTION

EXPLANATION
This question tests one idiom, so we have a rare 4-1 split (we can eliminate four answers on the same basis).

X = the appearance of news stories
Y = the rate of homicide

Correct: form a link between X and Y

Wrong: form a link from X to Y (answer A)
Wrong: form a link between X to Y (answer B)
Wrong: form a link with X to Y (answer D)
Wrong: form a link with X and Y (answer E)

Eliminate A, B, D, and E.

The correct answer is C.

Can be solved easily by meaning analysis and knowing the usage of 'between..and'. Meaning analysis shows that a link cannot be from X to Y but between X and Y.

Hence, answer is C

Hi,
Correct idiom to use with link at the end of the sentence is between X and Y. Only option C uses the correct form.

A) from the appearance of news stories about violence to
B) between the appearance of news stories about violence to: Between X to Y is incorrect.
C) between the appearance of news stories about violence and
D) with the appearance of news stories about violence to
E) with the appearance of news stories about violence and
