<p>Question from Barron’s:</p>

<p>Those interested in learning more about how genetics applies to trees will have to _________ the excellent technical journals where most of the pertinent material is _________. </p>

<p>D) resort to…found
E) see through…published</p>

<p>Why is the answer D and not E? Doesn’t “resort to” have a negative connotation to it?</p>

<p>Thanks :)</p>

See through just doesn’t fit here. “see through” mean translucent</p>
