<p>This is a question from the improving sentences section. </p>
<ol>
<li>Depending on skillful suggestion, argument is seldom used in advertising.</li>
</ol>
<p>(a) Depending on skillful suggestion, argument is seldom used in advertising.
<a href=“b”>b</a> Argument is seldom used in advertising, which depends instead on skillful suggestion**.
(c) Skillful suggestion is depended on by advertisers instead of argument.
(d) Suggestion, which is more skillful, is used in place of argument by advertisers.
(e) Instead of suggestion, depending on argument is used by skillful advertisers.</p>
<p>The answer is bolded. I seem to understand why this is the correct answer (word order with depending and argument) but doesn’t choice B slightly change the intent of the sentence by using the word “instead”? Am I misinterpreting the sentence of choice B slightly?</p>
