Hi Stacey,

Could you please tell why option B is wrong. I know it sounds awkward.

Here is the question:

Robert R wood's experimental result of there being temperature rise in a glass chamber because of warm air rising and mixing with cool air is the foundation of the greenhouse effect.

(A) same as underline
(b) of temperature rise that takes place in a glass chamber because of warm air rising and mixing with cool air is the foundation of the greenhouse effect
(c) that temperature rise takes place in a glass chamber because of warm air rising and mixing with cool air is the foundation of the greenhouse effect

Correct answer is c. Could you please explain the reasons? Also why b is wrong.

I had taken this question from beat the gmat forum.

Now I'm unable to find it, so cannot provide the other options. But I'm pretty sure the rest of the options were trivial and without a doubt incorrect.

An easy distinction is the idiom.

I need to say "the experimental result THAT temperature rise takes place . . .", not "the experimental result OF temperature rise takes place . . . ".
