Dear xql,
I'm with Paul Wilson on this one.
I don't think that any of the four choices is correct:
>Electricity is to the agriculture _____ blood is to the body.
>A)like
>B)that
>C)which
>D)what
This is what I would call the correct answer:
"Electricity is to agriculture as blood is to the body."
As Paul notes, there is also a problem with the article, "the."
It should say just "agriculture," not "the agriculture."
On the other hand, it _should_ say "the body," not just "body."
Don't ask me why!
The rules for articles might be a subject that other ATEG
members could speak on.
Sincerely,
Robert Einarsson
