Answer A in SC (tests on MGMAT)

[walid_afram]

In SC questions on MGMAT test you find the following
"(A) This choice is incorrect as it repeats the original sentence."
1. It should not be incorrect because it's answer choice A which repeats the original sentence; the original sentence could be correct on the GMAT. This approach is confusing.

2. If it's incorrect I'd prefer to know why it is incorrect (parallelism, wrong use of like/such as, both...and) instead of having the following answer:
"(A) This choice is incorrect as it repeats the original sentence."

We always start the explanation with a paragraph discussing the original sentence and indicating anything that is wrong with it.

Answer choice A is always identical to the original sentence. If the original sentence is wrong, then answer choice A is also wrong and you will see the text "this choice is incorrect as it repeats the original sentence." To understand why, read that first paragraph.
