Drill Question:
Most professional basketball players believe they are worth the exorbitant sums
that they are paid and
that the revenue they create for the teams and
the league justifies the amount.
they can't get paid and again then create the revenue.
There are no two events here separated by and.
Also that before they are paid correctly refers to sums but "that” before “the revenue” is incorrect.
In the given question it means that
1. players believe they are worth the exorbitant sums
that they are paid and
2. players believe they are worth the exorbitant sums
that the revenue they create for X..........so on
can you observe that second
that is quite awkward
This sentence should be written as:
Most professional basketball players believe
that they are worth the exorbitant sums that they are paid and
that the revenue they create for the league justifies the amount.
This sentence correctly implies the intended meaning as it says that players believe two things
1. they are worth the money they are paid
2. revenue they create for league justifies the amount
This sentence mainly tests parallelism.
I hope this helps
