B?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

I don't think it is correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Why?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

\(\normalsize\color{royalblue}{ \rm that~was~launched~last~April }\) is an adjective clause. It will seem like, if you read the sentence carefully, that it is saying that the \(\normalsize\color{red}{ \rm moon }\) launched.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

but that is wrong, because the \(\normalsize\color{royalblue}{ \rm satelline }\) is launched, not the moon

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

It should be; The satellite \(\normalsize\color{royalblue}{ \rm that~was~launched~last~April }\) has taken many great pictures of our moon that was launched last April.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

makes sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

Good; yw!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is b, because the last part of the sentence, should be the first information, in the sentence.
