If Max deposits the check by 10:30 a.m., the bank will post the amount to his account at midnight tonight for withdrawal from it on the next business day
(A) the bank will post the amount to his account at midnight tonight for withdrawal from it on the next business day
(B) the bank will post the amount to his account at midnight tonight for the withdrawal from it on the next business day
(C) the bank will post the amount to his account at midnight tonight to withdraw from it on the next business day
(D) the bank will post the amount to his account at midnight tonight on the next business day for withdrawal from it
(E) the bank will post the amount to his account at midnight tonight and he can withdraw from it on the next business day
I am not very sure but i eliminated all the asnwer choices apart from E (the correct one) on the basis that they all represent run-on sentences.
am i right on this way of approaching the problem?
Hi ziko
I think the main problem of this question is meaning. In A, B, C, D we don't know
who can withdraw money? B, for example, "the bank will post the amount....to withdraw.... ==> It means the bank will withdraw money?. The meaning is vague.
E, however, clearly mentions the subject "he". The meaning is crystal clear. Hence, E is correct.
Regarding "
run-on sentence", the definition of run-on sentence is:
"A run-on is a sentence in which two or more independent
clauses (i.e., complete sentences) are joined without appropriate punctuation or conjunction."
But in all options except E, the underlined parts do not contain two independent
clauses. Thus, "run-on sentence" is not the main problem.
Hope it helps.
