Alfred Drefus是真正的主语
B，用了to be 表示将来，和整个句子意思不符合。
D后面直接用名词，显得很AWKWARD。
并且忽略了其中的被动因素

In D, Alfred Drefus would be logic 主语, if you use noun or active verbal. Logically, it means Alfred Drefus exonerate and free himself rather than "being exonerated and freed." As a result, distort the original meanings.

BTW, i have a feeling that you're using grammar and skills much more than logic meanings to pick up a best answer when you work on SC. Probably, you'd like to add 句意理解 (logic meanings) on your list besides 平行，比较，修饰语位置, 主谓一致，被动，同位语（修饰语）etc, at least, as you last resort.

Please correct me if i'm wrong.

cthd007,

Thank u very much.I understand what you mean in this question.

U just point out what my biggest mistake is SC .U got the key. Through the discussion these days , I became to realize that the logic meaning is essential to SC in GMAT, which I overlook in the previous study.

But cthd007, how can i achieve to set logic meanings top prioitity ? How ????? by ananlysis the sentence, or by reading through the explanation in SC of gmat again, or by summary again? Would u please give me some tips ?

Thank u in advance.

good question, but it's hard to answer.

Let's see a example first.

# A controversial figure throughout most of his public life, the Black leader Marcus Garvey advocated (that some Blacks return to Africa, the land that, to him, symbolized the possibility of freedom).
(A) that some Blacks return to Africa, the land that, to him, symbolized the possibility of freedom
(B) that some Blacks return to the African land symbolizing the possibility of freedom to him
(C) that some Blacks return to Africa which was the land which symbolized the possibility of freedom to him
(D) some Black’s returning to Africa which was the land that to him symbolized the possibility of freedom
(E) some Black’s return to the land symbolizing the possibility of freedom to him, Africa

One way, You can eliminate D & E by using gramar immediately (by " that"), then get rid of C ("which was") and comapre A to B by meaning or modifier. I think this is a typical methed.
On the other hand, you could eliminate B & E by logic meaning (In Chinese, you can say
that someone retures to 這片生他育他的沃土, but it's really awkward to say somebody retures to Chinese land, beijing land in Enlish, in terms of SC, illogically), then rule out C & D by "which", and come to the best answer A right away. But, this needs more practice.

My suggestion is that to try to get the meaning and structure at the same time as you read, then compare to each choice to figure out whether they convey the same ideas when the structure changed. Just like RC, different strucute might serve different purpose of a passage.

When you practice 947 or 845, try to use the different approach, namely, one is the fast way to get "right" answer; another is to spot the best one that conveys the sentence meaning or original meaning. The more you practice, the quicker you spot out. Ultimately, you use both unawareness in your exam.

cthd007,

Thank u for your kind response and useful suggestion.

Actually, I found that it is not easy to distinguish the exact meaning . In the case you mentioned , I cannot effectively differ A from B.

So should I first read through the explanation of SC in OG so that I can get the basic principle of modification and logic meaning in SC? And then praticse more in 885 to test those principle, as you suggested?

Thank you very much for your kind help.

Way to go. You got your way already!

In this example, i really meant that the two ways are different though at first sight it looks like no difference. If you don't know how to distinguish between A and B (in this case, returns to "China that xxx, or, to China, a land that" rather than "to Chinese land that"), you probably stuck there and have to strugle with it. But, if you know it you can get the best answer right away. Not mention if you know both then.

Stick on OG's explanation, and practice what you learnt from OG. You'll be there soon.
