- Hi! Could anyone explain why answer choice C is wrong? Why can't it be referring to the real moon when it says that it was misclassified? I see how answer A is right; I just don't know why C is neccesarily wrong(13 votes)
- Choice C is not wrong. The real moon is misclassified as the "Earth's only natural satellite". The question however is to find the statement which best describes the underlined portion of the text. Choice A seems to describe the underlined portion of the test more clearly than Choice C.
It should also be noted that Choice C says that the underlined statement emphasizes an exception to an earlier generalization while Choice A says that the underlined statement adds a modifying detail to the earlier assertion. In the text "Any astronomy book will tell you that the moon is Earth's only natural satellite, but it is more accurate to say that t̲h̲e̲_M̲o̲o̲n̲_i̲s̲_E̲a̲r̲t̲h̲'̲s̲_o̲n̲l̲y̲_n̲a̲t̲u̲r̲a̲l̲_s̲a̲t̲e̲l̲l̲i̲t̲e̲", the underlined part seems more like a modifying detail to an assertion than a statement that emphasizes an exception.(2 votes)
