<p>Help+explanation, anyone?</p>
<p>Uncontrolled harvesting of forests for timber could affect the weather because land (covered by) large trees (absorbs and releases) twice (as much) moisture as (smaller plants). (No error)</p>
<p>**Answer is (smaller plants).</p>
<p>It’s a funny comparison. The sentence compares the moisture released by large tree-covered land with smaller plants.</p>
<p>Should be: …because land covered by large trees absorbs and releases twice as much moisture as (does) that covered by smaller plants.</p>
<p>How about this?</p>
<p>Elaine h. Kim’s study (creates an insight on) the (contributions of) Asian American women to the economic (as well as) the cultural (development of) the United States. (No Error)</p>
<p>I think “creates an insight on” should be “creates an insight into”
Someone check it for me</p>
<p>Yeah, kindhearted is right. The question is about the improper usage of idiom. It should be “insight into”, not “insight on”.</p>
