Question

Hello.Please read the following passage:Gnome research developmnts have revolutionized knowledge of the role of inheritance in health, disease, and athletic performance.Nowadys, experts in genomics, or personal diagnostics, can  clarify the impact of a genetic make-up and the significance of environmental factors such as nutrition and personal behavior in relation to the causation of diseases like cardiovascular, psychiatric, and infectious diseases.There is also evidence that genes contribute to athletic performance,  although the contribution of genes to successd at the elite level may range anywhere from 5% to 90%.There is no evidence that genetic variations can predict athletic performance.Currently,  DNA testing is unlikely to provide any additional information to an athlet or coach beyond what is already known through the traditional talent identification program.Regarding the interaction of sports and genesit is known that some genetic disorders,  e.g.  Marfan syndrome,  can represent a serious health risk in someone undertaking strenuous physical activity.While more is learned about how the gnome determines patterns of disease, how this information may ethically affect people's lives must also be discussed.Already, people have been refused life insurance policies on the results of genetic testing.The argument   of the insurance company is that it is unfair on those free of the genetic condition to have to support people who know that they will suffer from a condition, such as Huntington's disease later in their lives.Now please answer the following:149.The author implies that DNA testing compared to traditional talent identification prrograms provides coaches with ..............nformation about the predictive power of genes.a.some additional                  b.no significant                      c.roughly equal                                 d.highly  variantI chose b. and thhe jey gives c.

Here I post the quetsion again:

149.The author implies that DNA testing compared to traditional talent identification prrograms provides coaches with ..............information about the predictive power of genes.
a.some additional b.no significant c.roughly equal d.highly variant

I chose b. and the key gives c.

It would be nice if others could answer it.

Thanks.

Your tone is somewhat bullying. I have found that you have to be overly polite on the Internet just to come across inoffensive. Pretend you're talking to your much-loved elderly aunt who hasn't been feeling well. And, before you start demanding, I am a lifelong speaker of English, a copyeditor, and pretty smuckin' ****.

The question you are asking about, number 149, is flawed, as is the passage it refers to. I pity all you guys who are given stuff like that to read as if it is English and then are asked questions about it by people who think that their arbitrary interpretation of the nonsense is gospel.

What sense does it make to imply that coaches are looking for "information about the predictive power of genes"? They are not; they are looking for information about the potential of their athletes. Furthermore, even if they were, what "provides" in the sentence; what is the subject of the subordinate clause? There really isn't one. One thing compared to another can't provide anything.

The question is nonsense, and there is therefore no right answer.

Thanks.But what made me appear offensive?

Yeah, you've always seemed perfectly nice before. I figure it's just a communication breakdown, so, as the Australians say, "No worries." Here are a few problem areas:

When you start a sentence with "look", it denotes impatience with an implied threat. It sounds like "Look here, you." Also, "You think What?" expresses mock astonishment that the other party could be so stupid as to think that, owing to the capital letter on "what", which reads like vocal emphasis. And "Please give exact answers" sounds like a demand even with the "please". Guys like me, when informed that their freely given and quite wonderful answers aren't exact enough will usually go play with somebody else.

Like I said, though, I'm sure the nasty tone was entirely illusory and is nothing more than insufficient fluency on your part. I hope you are not offended by my observations.
