While due process will establish only if the charges against the [#permalink] New post   Updated on: 16 Sep 2018, 02:08
This question is tricky.

Answer should be D

whether is needed so that the situation can be described in either a yes or a no (if condition is not required.)

Reason is singular a,b,c out

The question here compares being vs misplaced only modifier.

D gives a clear and coherent picture.

While due process will establish only if the charges against the Bishop, the accused, can stand in court, there is reason to be concerned that this process is not as rigorously executed as it should be.

a) While due process will establish only if the charges against the Bishop, the accused, can stand in court, there is reason to be concerned that this process is not as rigorously executed as it should be. "Due process" will establish one of two things - can the charges against the Bishop stand in court or not? Therefore, the correct usage is "whether" and not "if". Also, it is more logical to place restriction "only" on "due process", which will then mean that only due process and nothing else can establish - currently it says that due process will only establish one thing and nothing else. Eliminate.

b) While only due process will establish if the charges against the Bishop, the accused, will stand in court, there is reason to be concerned that this process is not as rigorously executed as it should. Same error in using "if" as in (A). Eliminate.

c) While only due process can establish whether the charges against the Bishop, the accused, will stand in court, there are reason to be concerned that these processes are not being as rigorously executed as it should. Plural verb "are" is incorrectly used for singular subject "reason". Eliminate.

d) While only due process will establish whether the charges against the Bishop, the accused, can stand in court, there is reason to be concerned that this process is not being as rigorously executed as it should. Correct answer. All above errors are rectified and no new errors are introduced.

e) While due process will establish only whether the charges against the Bishop, the accused, can stand in court, there is reason to be concerned that this process is not as rigorously executed as it should be. Same error in the placement of "only" as in (A). Eliminate.

Hope this helps.

A.

We are applying a condition, hence we require if and not whether.

Between A and B: In B, 'only' incorrectly modifies due process, whereas in A, 'only' aptly modifies the condition.

Please correct me if my understanding is incorrect.

the placement of "only" in a and e is wrong, b c d correct that.
Between b c and d , c is wrong as the author only implied single reason so there are is wrong in c .
Between b and d , d has the verb missing after that "that this process is not being as rigorously executed as it should."

Dear Experts

Please can you provide your review of this statement and options and why D should be correct answer.

This is a tricky question with almost similar options.

And also, can we use " not being as rigorously as executed " or I though it' always better to have not executed as rigorously as it should.
