Thanks for an amazing video. I have a question regarding the last question. I was wondering why it is grammatically correct to compare "small cars that are XXX" and "those at any other time". I feel like those two phrases are not pararell.

For question #5, I get the "any time" concept, but following it, is "production history", so isn't it really saying at any time in history? i.e. in the past? and certainly cannot be today or the future? Is there something else I'm missing. Referring to around 46:40 mark

39:13 Question #4 option E, there is parallelism in 'unlike' usage. Did you reject it because unlike has been used with verb and not noun? I though you rejected 'E' because of parallelism issues and not noun/verb issues.

@prepscholar, 11:30 I don't understand how "that they used to dress a statue of the goddess Athena" describes the robe. Isnt that telling you what they did with the robe - has nothing to do with describing the robe. Description to me means adjective

On question number 5, doesn't the exclusion of the pronoun ‘their’ at the end of the underlined phrase in the correct answer, change the meaning of the sentence? With the inclusion of their, even though it might be ambiguous, it refers to a specific things production history (the manufacturers or the cars). With the exclusion of this pronoun it refers to all production history across all things, so maybe all the way back to the industrial revolution or before through today. I think this actually changes the meaning of the original sentence, and thereby, for the same reason we fail to accept D as the right answer, we could fail to accept C? While this logically makes sense to consider all of production history regarding the ability to manufacture more fuel-efficient cars, the original sentence doesn’t tell us this. It merely states manufacturers can produce more fuel-efficient cars with respect to either their individual production history or the cars, not all production history. It's clear that the meaning shifts between C and D with respect to the amount of cars vs the amount of fuel efficiency in those cars making D an incorrect answer. I'm more or less just curious if you saw this as an actual meaning shift before the shift in quantity of cars vs fuel efficiency of those cars, could you accept it. If so, we could chronologically fail to accept C as the correct answer and default to D. A simpler example would be: Today, manufacturers produces more cars than any other time in production history. VS Today, manufacturers produces more cars than any other time in their production history. At 52:20 she states that in the previous question’s correct answer, there was an ambiguous pronoun, so we should not necessarily reject the above example based on the ‘their’ being ambiguous. Further the above example highlights a secondary change in meaning between answer choices C and D. On what should we reject this meaning change? Overall super super helpful and intuitive videos, will sub to this and PrepScholar! Thanks

Q#5, Correct answer is C. However, it says, "small cars THAT are more..." - cars are plural but THAT is singular. What am I missing?

I think there is an error in the sentence: in choice A "a circumstance that contributes to 'their' depletion"- here the antecedent of their is monkfish- we are talking about a specie so the pronoun their should be its. Please correct me if i am wrong
