<p>The Code of Hammurabi consisting of 282 case laws,</p>
<p>**or **judicial decisions, collected toward the end </p>
<p>of** the reign of Hammurabi, the sixth king of Babylons First Dynasty. </p>
<p>The answer says consisting of should be changed to consists. I get that, but i don’t get how collected isn’t incorrect…any help?</p>
<p>collected makes perfect sense:</p>
<p>The code of Hammurabi consists of 282 case laws collected toward the end of the reign of Hammurabi.</p>
<p>there is nothing wrong with the above sentence. Inserting “that were” before “collected” makes the sentence sound better…however, it isn’t necessary to insert “that were”, the sentence is grammatically correct withouth it.</p>
<p>oh i see. When i read the sentence i kept taking huge pauses after every comma, seeing the sentence without the comma makes the sentence flow more smoothly. Thank you for taking your time to reply!</p>
