Hi Experts,

Can somebody plz explain as to why option A is incorrect?

Wolf's tail is compared with dog's, so what is wrong with that? Also, I see explanation as dog's is incorrect, then that way, wolf's should also be incorrect.

Really need to understand why C is correct and A incorrect. Please help!

Thanks
Alka

Hello Alka10,

We hope this finds you well.

To answer your query, Option A is not grammatically incorrect, but its passive construction makes it wordier and less clear than C; thus, C is the superior choice.

We hope this helps.
All the best!
