sobby · Answer

Here in A ..tempos(i don't know what it is, may be a chemical) is compared with mass administration - is it correct to structure a sentence like this ..or m i missing some thing here .
logically comparison should be anti - parasitic drugs and tempos.

Can anyone explain why A is correct and rest of them are wrong?

raoshahb · Answer

B. Which is non essential modifier but the information given in the original sentence is essential to convey the message.

abhimahna · Answer

Here we are comparing the worth of using tempo and using mass administration of anti-parasitic drugs.

A is correct by POE.

A- just as Tempos is applied to every source of water to purify the few that might actually harbor the Guinea Worm

B- like Tempos, which is applied to every source of water to purify the few that might harbor the Guinea Worm -->  We are not comparing a chemical with usage of another chemical.

C- similar to Tempos which is applied to every source of water to purify the few that might actually harbor the Guinea Worm -->  Same as B.

D- while, to purify the few that might actually harbor the Guinea Worm, Tempos is applied to every source of water -->  It is changing the meaning.. Using while shows the contrast but we need to compare the worth. Hence, incorrect

E- similar to the application of Tempos to every source of water to purify the few that might harbor the Guinea Worm actually ->  Here application of one is compared with another. But as per the meaning we need to compare the worth of applying one with that of another.

B and C compare ‘Tempos’ to the administration of other anti-parasitic drugs. D uses passive voice. E compares a noun to a verb.
A is the right answer.
