Sentence: "Few of the studies cited by the manufacturer directly compare the new material with the standard alternative." Which option provides the most accurate core parse despite the of-phrase and reduced passive modifier attached to studies?
A
Core-clause reading: the manufacturer functions as subject, cited as the main verb, and few studies as the object/complement; the sentence assigns the governing action or state to the manufacturer.
B
Core-clause reading: the new material functions as subject, compares as the main verb, and the standard alternative as the object/complement; the asserted relationship is organized around the new material and the predicate compares.
C
Core-clause reading: the standard alternative functions as subject, cites as the main verb, and the manufacturer as the object/complement; the sentence treats the standard alternative as the source or bearer of the main predicate.
D
Core-clause reading: few of the studies functions as subject, compare as the main verb, and the new material with the standard alternative as the object/complement; only a small number of the cited studies make the direct comparison.
