Part or all of the following sentence is underlined; beneath the sentence are five ways of phrasing the underlined material. Select the option that produces the best sentence. If you think the original phrasing produces a better sentence than any of the alternatives, select choice A.

Modern discus throwers use much the same technique of ancient Greece.

(A) of ancient Greece
(B) of ancient Greeks
(C) as ancient Greeks did
(D) as they did in ancient Greece
(E) like ancient Greeks

答案和解析

答案：C

解析：

Choice (C) is correct. It avoids the error of the original by comparing what "Modern discus throwers" do to what "ancient Greeks did" (not to "ancient Greece," a comparison that would not make logical sense).
