249B. ffice:smarttags" />Bluegrass musician Bill Monroe, whose repertory, views on musical collaboration, and vocal style influenced generations of bluegrass artists, also inspired many musicians, including Elvis Presley and Jerry Garcia, whose music differed significantly fromhis own.
But, should it be "whose music significantly differed from his own"? Is it cool to split up phrase "differs from"? What is the difference between the two positions of adverb here?
In the explanation for 245, OG makes a big deal on“squinting modifier (a modifier (as often in *getting dressed often is a nuisance*) so placed in a sentence that it can be interpreted as modifying either what precedes or what follows)”

Hey Snazzy... thanks for your viewpoints!
Agree with you on #2, adverbs come before adj. As for verbs, there 3 positions to place their adverbs: 1. Initial: Usually I get up early. 2. Mid: He quickly got dressed. 3. End: He got dressed quickly. I get up early. But, bunnier has been told (doesn't remember when/where) that placing adverbs in the middle of a phrase isn't a good practice, i.e. "get early up" or "differed significantly from".
i guess you are right. However if you look at the 5 choices vertically, you'll find CD is redundant (in comparison to, compared to), E has no logical referent for "from that of", and AB are both using "differed significantly from". Therefore, in this case it is acceptible.
Although i agree with you that GET UP EARLY should not be GET EARLY UP, here "differed significantly from" sounds just fine to me.
