00:03

Ok ta aspiring and test takers here We've got another

00:08

section for you to read Great Like sharks Yes it's

00:11

sharply done Shmoop and flushing in there All right we're

00:15

on one of twelve and then one Let's just get

00:17

right down to it I'm going to focus on responsible

00:20

for the most right there title here We always pay

00:23

heavy attention to it has great whites or well heavy

00:26

fearsome killers Or simply misunderstood like the nice guys of

00:30

the water All right everything is released causing jaws Great

00:33

white shark's been oily food of cold blooded killer just

00:35

waiting for its next human meal Living in a house

00:38

shark attacks didn't refute our fears may appear to be

00:40

well founded Great white is responsible for the most fatal

00:44

attacks on humans than other species of sharks Well it's

00:46

thinking about inserts scary jaws music here You know start

00:58

Um a nothing Or if you're feeling slightly a sprightly

01:02

or try the remix Yeah you know don't know Don't

01:05

never mind We'll stop right here The author compares attacks

01:09

by great whites on humans to the attacks by other

01:13

species of shark presumably also on human Well later on

01:17

in the sentence the word van is another hint that

01:20

we're dealing with a comparison between two things We can't

01:24

zoom to the superlative and say responsible for the most

01:28

attacks than any other species Right So get rid of

01:32

a there is going to be a change Nor can

01:35

we say responsible for the highest attacks than any other

01:39

species which is bad grammar and relate Sue the laws

01:42

that were legalized in california in two thousand sixteen Greater

01:46

suggests a comparison but its usage is typically restricted to

01:51

the comparison between numbers Just doesn't work here Since we

01:55

don't specify that were referring to greater numbers of attacks

01:59

like that What defines a great white All right So

02:02

anyway the best answer is c responsible form or the

02:07

sense would read there The great white is responsible for

02:11

mohr fatal attacks on humans than other species of sharks

02:15

That's it we're seeing We're getting out of the water
