1
00:00:01.259 --> 00:00:02.923
<v ->However good his opponent,</v>

2
00:00:02.923 --> 00:00:05.089
a worst golfer has the right to play out

3
00:00:05.089 --> 00:00:06.720
each hole to the end;

4
00:00:06.720 --> 00:00:09.099
he will get more than
his share of the game.

5
00:00:09.924 --> 00:00:12.531
So here we're looking

6
00:00:12.531 --> 00:00:14.387
at an issue of syntax.

7
00:00:14.387 --> 00:00:17.697
It says, "However good his
opponent, a worst golfer"

8
00:00:17.697 --> 00:00:21.366
but you can't have many worst golfers,

9
00:00:21.366 --> 00:00:23.615
you only can have one who is the worst.

10
00:00:23.615 --> 00:00:27.088
So instead of using the
indefinite article "a",

11
00:00:27.088 --> 00:00:30.539
we should be using the
definite article "the".

12
00:00:30.539 --> 00:00:33.906
So it should say, "The
worst golfer has the right

13
00:00:33.906 --> 00:00:35.762
"to play out each hold to the end."

14
00:00:35.762 --> 00:00:38.850
So, answer choice A is the correct choice.

15
00:00:38.850 --> 00:00:42.002
It should have been "the" instead of "a",

16
00:00:42.002 --> 00:00:43.859
"each hole", there's
nothing wrong with that,

17
00:00:43.859 --> 00:00:46.578
"to the end", semicolon.

18
00:00:46.578 --> 00:00:48.625
That's just fine there because we don't

19
00:00:48.625 --> 00:00:49.958
have a conjunction joining

20
00:00:49.958 --> 00:00:51.942
the two independent clauses.

21
00:00:51.942 --> 00:00:53.782
The one is, "However good his opponent,

22
00:00:55.132 --> 00:00:57.953
"a golfer has the right to
play out each hole to the end",

23
00:00:57.953 --> 00:00:59.304
the other independent clause is,

24
00:00:59.304 --> 00:01:01.627
"he will get more than
his share of the game."

25
00:01:01.627 --> 00:01:03.420
Both of those can stand alone,

26
00:01:03.420 --> 00:01:04.683
so if you're going to join those

27
00:01:04.683 --> 00:01:05.840
two independent clauses,

28
00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:08.288
you can do so with a
comma and a conjunction,

29
00:01:08.288 --> 00:01:10.337
like and, or but, or something like that,

30
00:01:10.337 --> 00:01:12.337
but in this case there is no conjunction,

31
00:01:12.337 --> 00:01:13.777
so you're using a semicolon,

32
00:01:13.777 --> 00:01:15.040
which is correct.

33
00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:17.408
"Will get" is also just fine.

34
00:01:17.408 --> 00:01:18.956
So again, the correct choice here

35
00:01:18.956 --> 00:01:21.606
for where the problem lies is A.
