<p>prejudice/false reasoning has led to false ideas on the part of geologists</p>

<p>Does this mean

  1. The prejudice was derived from the geologists
    or
  2. The prejudice gave geologists the wrong idea</p>

<p>This was a choice for a reading comprehension problem but im not sure what it means! help.</p>

<p>Btw do any of you use majortest.com? If so, do you feel that their Reading passage questions are kind of hard? they seem to all be from literature written centuries ago, making it very difficult to comprehend- or Is it just me?</p>

<ul>
<li>Prejudice and false reasoning has led to false ideas on the part of geologists. -</li>
</ul>

<p>This is a pretty ambiguous sentence. I think it’s number 1: The geologists’ prejudice and false reasoning led to false ideas. It makes the most logical sense, unless the question “Who was prejudiced and / or gave false reasoning?” can be answered. It depends on the context of sentence.</p>
