Review: Poisonous Colors
Explanation
Creating a filter: we can pause early on in the original
sentence, because the word "like" is redundant with the words "for example." So
(A) is eliminated. In giving an example, "such as" is preferable to "like,"
since "like" is comparative in nature. We'll look for something like that.
Applying the filter: our expectation leads is to favor
(B), (C), and (E).
Finding objective defects: choice (C) is missing the word
"by" before "the true appearance"; the "by" is required because "as much... as"
is a two-part construction requiring parallelism of its elements. In fact, (D)
and (E) have the exact same problem. The correct answer is (B).
