Sorry and here's your smoke too Sure brought to you

00:04

by the apparel industry The clothes make the man but

00:08

apparently the man also makes the clothes All right Check

00:12

out this passage right here in haiti to california How

00:18

would you change the underlined portion if it all comprising

00:22

and hear the potential answers All right okay so we

00:25

need to take one word here and switch it out

00:27

with another sort of like indie did at the beginning

00:30

of raiders let's just make sure they're both the same

00:32

weight We don't want an arrow through the head Yeah

00:35

that's somebody else's Okay we definitely can't leave this sentence

00:38

as is because the word comprising just plain doesn't make

00:41

sense here The word refers to elements of a group

00:43

so to say one of the largest employers comprising haiti

00:47

when we're really saying that this group of employers is

00:50

the country of haiti and that we looked them up

00:52

unlinked in and we weren't able to endorse him so

00:55

we're going to go ahead and assume that's incorrect next

00:57

what if we said on haiti is option b suggests

01:00

well that might work if haiti was an island all

01:02

to itself As it turns out haiti is part of

01:05

an island but shares the space with the dominican republic

01:08

so on doesn't really work here Trust us any wishes

01:11

It was all by itself it's been really peeved Ever

01:13

since its neighbor called dibs on the bottom book through

01:16

won't cut it either one of the largest employers through

01:19

haiti That doesn't make sense unless all the employees have

01:22

formed a long line from one coast to the other

01:24

and are holding hands and singing kumbaya while they go

01:27

over the prior year's profit report So what We're gonna

01:30

disregard option c What has to be deep in its

01:33

simple In fact it almost seems too simple But it's

01:36

the only one that fits Yeah the employers are in

01:39

haiti not on through around or above it So here's

01:42

One of those cases where the simplest answer happens to

01:44

be on the right one Now it's Just a race

01:46

to see whether haiti or the dominican can be the

01:49

first in line for ice cream way sends another war 00:01:52.437 --> [endTime] coming
