Learning Activity 1
Unclear Comparison

Unclear comparison
Perbandingan dimana terdapat ketidak-jelasanan
mengenai bagian yang dibandingkan.

John likes Rina better than Mary

Kalimat ini dapat memiliki dua arti yang berbeda:

1.

John likes Rina better than Mary likes Rina, or

2.

John likes Rina better than John likes Mary

Pengartian diatas dibedakan berdasarkan hal yang

dibandingkan.
Dalam
kalimat
pertama
yang
dibandingkan adalah subjeknya (John), sementara
dalam kalimat ke-dua yang dibandingkan adalah
objeknya (Rina).

ILLOGICAL COMPARISON
Illogical comparison adalah perbandingan yang tidak
masuk akal, sehingga perlu diperbaiki.
Contoh:
1.

Rina has a car smaller than her brother

2.

Marys grades are better than last year

Seharusnya:
3.

Rina has a car smaller than her brothers car

4.

Marys grades are better now than they were last

year
