Question Explanation:
The non-underlined portion of the sentence contains the comparison word unlike, so check that the items being compared are similar. The sentence compares Vesalius’s … textbook to Mondino. Since the sentence compares a textbook to a person instead of a person to a person, this is a comparison error. Eliminate choice A and any obvious repeaters. Because each answer choice must be examined carefully in order to determine whether the comparison is correct, there are no obvious repeaters. Now, evaluate the remaining answer choices individually looking for reasons to eliminate each.
Choice B compares Mondino to both Vesalius and his magisterial seven-volume textbook, so this is a comparison error. Eliminate choice B. Choice C fixes the original comparison error by comparing Vesalius to Mondino and introduces no new errors, so keep choice C. Choice D compares textbook to Mondino, so this is a comparison error. Eliminate choice D. Choice E compares Mondino to both Vesalius and his magisterial seven-volume textbook, so this is a comparison error. Eliminate choice E.
Choice A: No. Vesalius’s magisterial seven-volume textbook is incorrectly compared to Mondino. Comparison.
Choice B: No. Vesalius and his magisterial seven-volume textbook is incorrectly compared to Mondino. Comparison.
Choice C: Correct.
Choice D: No. The magisterial seven-volume textbook of Vesalius is incorrectly compared to Mondino. Comparison.
Choice E: No. Vesalius and his magisterial seven-volume textbook is incorrectly compared to Mondino. Comparison.
The correct answer is choice C.
