<p>[Reading magazine advertisements carefully], the writers seem more interested in impact than in grammatical form.</p>
<p>A. as it is
C. Reading carefully the contents of magazine advertisements
E. As a careful reading of magazine advertisements demonstrates</p>
<p>E is correct, but I choose A</p>
<p>Thank you！</p>
<p>any feedback？</p>
<p>The intended meaning is that when people read magazines, it becomes clear that the writers seem more interested in impact than in grammatical form. E conveys this meaning perfectly, but both A and C sound as if the writers are who actually read, instead of the general public/critics…</p>
<p>The meaning of the sentence is </p>
<p>“By careful analysis, one realizes that magazine writers are more interested in impact that in using proper grammar”.</p>
<p>If you select choice A, the sentence makes no sense, as the modifier “Reading carefully the contents of a magazine” seemingly connects to the writers of articles. This makes no sense in meaning. Choice A would be correct if the sentence instead said “Reading magazine advertisements carefully, one realizes that writers…” There is no such option, but choice E conveys the same meaning in different words. </p>
<p>Did that help at all or did I just confuse you?</p>
<p>I thought I got what you meant, those really help, thank you!:)</p>
