Can anyone please explain this grammar strategy here? How does verb in the blank refer to the Mayor and not Mayor’s opponents?
I put this on Chat GPT and got the following as the conclusion- " the verb in the blank refers to the action the opponents took towards her strategy, not the mayor herself, because it’s focused on how they reacted to her plan."
I am asking here on the forum because in the recorded session Greg eliminates the choices using Usage Strategy and he he keeps saying - can the mayor laude/ analyze/ scrutinize her own strategy?
I think Greg made a mistake in that class, you’re right.
cool, if you’re sure - someone did ask him the same question in class so I wanted to confirm once again.
How would we decide between scrutinizing and lampooning here?
Is it that we do not know whether or not the opponents were making fun of the mayor and hence option C is the better answer?
In GRE scrutinizing means “carefully studying” I think
