![]() ![]() In (E), the picture is more consistent, the belief speculative, through and through- believes to be of a species never before seen. In the question at hand, the stacked pronouns in (A) ( ones that), combined with the conflicting information surrounding this belief-is it more grounded ( are a species) or speculative ( never before seen)?-give us a few reasons to doubt that it is the best way to convey the idea. In the sentence, The biologist believes that the sea worms are a species never before seen, we have to ask ourselves, How is the biologist convinced that the sea worms belong to a new species? By contrast, in the sentence, The biologist believes the sea worms to be of a species never before seen, the speculative nature of the belief comes through. Also, the belief is that the sea worm, to focus on just one question, may be a member of a previously unseen or unstudied (at least, at close range) species, not that the organism is a never-before-seen-at-close-range species. That is, the belief is not a conviction that something is true, but is speculative in nature. In the sentences above, both the species/type and the belief are tentative. It has to do with the context of the sentence, Mavisdu1017. And could you illuminate why A is wrong? Is “ believe to be” an idiom? Thanks. In SC focus on the meaning too, pure grammar elimination is not advisable, especially for 700+ questions, there will always be traps.ĪndrewN hello expert, much thanks for your fast response. Only option C and E gives us that, C has the word "they" which makes it ambiguous, hence we chose E which conveys the correct meaning of the sentence. The sentence has to end with "of" the specimens are not the species themselves. so using believe to be as point of elimination is not correct at all ![]() I acknowledge the fact that believe to be is a correct idioms but there are several instances in which believe to be is no used. That is just providing a clause which gives more info about the worms. Pls provide explanation of why usage of that is incorrect. ![]() Usage of that is incorrect in options a,b,c,dĪ marine biologist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute has collected specimens of several microscopic sea worms, ones that she believes are a species never before seen at close range. ![]()
