ACT Question of the Day Explained – February 22, 2014 – English

Today’s ACT question of the day comes from the English passage about radio. Specifically, they want to know if this sentence needs to be changed:

Yet even in the midst of such anarchy, some commercial possibilities and organizations 
saw clearly of a medium whose regulation seemed imminent.

Who or what saw the possibilities? The organizations.

What makes sense before “of”, which is the first word after the underlined section? Our options are either “saw clearly of” or “possibilities of”…I’m going with the second one.

So, we know that some organizations saw clearly the commercial possibilities of this medium. Choice H agrees with our reconstruction! No other answer choice handles the “of” correctly – it’s a tiny word that is easy to miss, but words like that can make all the difference.
