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
