- noun(s): neural representations
- prepositional phrase: "of the physics of the musculoskeletal system and the objects in the environment"

shouldn't the which refer to the noun, and not an object within the prepositional phrase?

Can't the Which in the original sentence refer to the objects???

From the given original sentence how can we find out if internal models refers to neural representations or the objects??

Hi,
In option C are the expressions "The Fact" and "Generally accepted" redundant?

Official Solution:

In computational neuroscience, it is generally accepted that human motor memory contains neural representations of the physics of the musculoskeletal system and objects in the environment, which are known as “internal models”.

A. it is generally accepted that human motor memory contains neural representations of the physics of the musculoskeletal system and objects in the environment, which are known as “internal models”.
B. it is generally acceptable that human motor memory contains neural representations, known as the “internal models” of the physics of the musculoskeletal system and objects in the environment,
C. generally accepted is the fact that human motor memory contains neural representations of the physics of the musculoskeletal system and objects in the environment – representations known to be “internal models”.
D. the fact that human motor memory contains neural representations of the physics of the musculoskeletal system and objects in the environment – representations known as “internal models”- is generally acceptable.
E. it is generally accepted that human motor memory contains neural representations - representations known as “internal models” - of the physics of the musculoskeletal system and objects in the environment.


(A) The modifier which are known as “internal models” wrongly refers to environment.

(B) Using the phrase it is generally acceptable, rather than it is generally accepted conveys the wrong meaning.

(C) Awkward construction: generally accepted is the fact. The idiom known to be is used to mean recognised for; for naming, the idiom known as is appropriate.

(D) Wordy construction: the fact that. Using acceptable rather than accepted conveys wrong meaning.

(E) Correct Eliminates all the errors above.


Answer: E

What is the difference between in the meaning here between accepted and acceptable?

@e-gmat egmat In this question, the reason I selected choice C instead of choice E is because " neural representations - representations known " I thought mentioning representations twice would be redundant. Please tell me where I went wrong?

Hi!

In respect to "e":

REDUNDANCY:

"neural representations - representations known"
>>> Unless redundancy is just "nice not to have", but "ok to have", I see no reason for the repetition. Anyway, not wrong but against concision.

PARALLELISM:

"human memory contains..."
(i) neural representations of the physics of the musculoskeletal system and
(ii) objects in the environment
>>> Does the memory contain "objects in the environment"? Probably not.

OR

"human memory contains neural representations..."
(i) OF the physics of the musculoskeletal system and
(ii) OF (the) objects in the environment
>>> In this case, "THE physics" should match "THE objects"; and there must be an "of" before "objects".

OR

"human memory contains neural representations of the physics..."
OF the musculoskeletal system and
OF (the) objects in the environment
>>> In this case, "THE musculoskeletal system" should match "THE objects"; and there must be an "of" before "objects".

I appreciate your comments.

Thanks,
