Hi,
I’m preparing for a class tonight and going over the answer key for the in-class exercises. The following sentence has been marked as incorrect:
I would probably change this sentence to read:
The explanation in the back of the book is just gobbledygook to me. It reads:
[quote]By comparing > In terms of/ When we compare

Can anyone help me to put that into plain English? Their explanation about “not making sense” does not make any sense to me.
Thanks
