Re: Sentence without main verb in the OA

In the answer choice C, the modifier "allowing them to explore" modifies its preceding clause but it seems not make sense because such modifier does not logically match with the subject, "many of today’s mathematicians". The answer choice appears as though "many of today’s m...

usage of prefer to/ prefer rather than

I am confused about the usage of "prefer" because sometimes I see people use "prefer X to Y", other time people use "prefer X rather than Y". Which of the usage is correct? Which part speech are X and Y can be? i.e. noun, verb, to verb, verb-ing

Thanks!

collective nouns that refer to group of people

I am not sure whether some collective nouns that refer to group of people such as community, company, and committee could be modified by who or by which.

Please explain the usage of relative clause in this case.
Thanks.

Re: comparison without than

I'm not familiar with the term "comparative adjective", but, from your question, I'll infer that it means more , less , better , worse , etc. (If this is wrong, please clarify, thanks.) If both parts of the comparison are mentioned in the same part of the sentence, then, yes, you should h...
