<p>He bought (some bread,butter,cheese and decided not to eat them until the evening)</p>
<p>E)some bread,butter,and cheese and decided</p>
<p>You buy X, Y and Z (the and indicate that it is the last item on the list) so only E can work</p>
<p>The bank agreed to lend (Garcia the money,which made) him very happy</p>
<p>B)Garcia the money,a decision which made
C)Garcia the money ; this made </p>
<p>This refer to the bank = this made him , will say that the bank made him very happy. and you want to say that the action of lending him the money made him happy. hence the decision:)</p>
<p>But why cant we infer that not the bank,but the FACT that the bank gives him the money ,makes him happy ?</p>
<p>Becaue in this sentence he didn’t get the money
it’s says that they agree to do it , they made a decision to give him loan , therefore this decision made him happy happy happy HAPPY!!!</p>
<p>That second question is ridiculous and vague. It’s not clear what “decision” refers to.</p>
<p>We can’t use ‘which’ or ‘this’ because it would confuse what made Garcia happy. Was it the money or the bank agreeing? Yes, you can infer in real life, but not on the tests. They want everything written to be clear and have absolutely no confusion.</p>
<p>To elaborate on Yankee Belle’s fine reply, remember that the test is looking for the best answer of the ones provided. If you write to convey facts, your best writing will not leave those facts up to your reader to infer.</p>
