Question

Correct the underlined part of the sentence.If there is no error choose "no change."

Meals prepared by the Algonquin Indians, who were farmers as well as hunters, included more maize and pumpkin than other Indian tribes.

• A. No change
• B. Pumpkin than did those prepared by other Indian tribes.
• C. Pumpkin than that which other Indian tribes did.
• D. Pumpkin, and this was not the same as other Indian tribes.
• E. Pumpkin; and other Indian tribes did not prepare meals in this way.

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

Pumpkin than did those prepared by other Indian tribes.

Here, the construct "than other Indian tribes" does not convey the required meaning clearly. Only option B rectifies this error without adding new ones.
