I would certainly most appreciate your answers with the whys and the wherefores. That said; I've got the answer, yet I need an overall comment on all the options respectively.

Rather than simply transmitting voice, JTRS, will also simultaneously carry video and data transmissions.

Rather than simply transmitting voice, JTRS, will also simultaneously carry video and data transmissions.


Have you read my deep note above sir?

A) Rather than > bence doğru cevap.. Burada rather than -dahası anlamında.
JTRS denen sistem sadece sesi iletmekle kalmıyor; dahası aynı anda video ve data'yı da gönderebiliyor.
B) According to > JTRS, video ve data'yı sesi aktarabildiği için göndermiyor. Birbirine bağlılık değil tamamlayıcılık var.
C) Due to > also simultaneously'den dolayı olmaz. Neden-sonuç ilişkisi yok.
D) In contrast to > also'dan dolayı zıtlık yok.
E) In spite of > also'dan dolayı zıtlık yok

Derim ben..

Rather than simply transmitting voice, JTRS, will also simultaneously carry video and data transmissions.

diğer şıklar zıtlık, beklenmeyen zıtlık ve neden-sonuç taşıyor, dolayısıyla ek özellik belirtebilmeyi rather than kullanarak yapabilmemiz için anahtar olarak "also ve simultaneously" kelimeleri verilmiş.

I would pick A as it seems that we need to give the meaning of "preference". In addition, the word "simply" in the first sentence, and the word "also" in the second seem to have crucial effects on the answer. I am unable to make a logical relation by using other options; just what I see when I look at the sentence:confused: .

---- simply transmitting voice, the Joint Tactical Radio System, JTRS as the Pentagon refers to it, will also simultaneously carry video and data transmissions.

A) Rather than (this is the desired answer, RATHER THAN is mostly used for correction or to show preferance, but in this with ALSO it means nearly "in addition to"
B) According to (WRONG;only possible to show referance to SB or ST. "transmitting voice" is not something to refer, at least here)
C) Due to (WRONG; without SIMPLY, it would, at least, be taken into consideration. However, I cannot see any good cause and effect relationship between voice transmission and video plus data transmission
D) In contrast to (WRONG; voice transmission has nothing to do with video or data transmission; they are totally different items, and do not contradict each other)
E) In spite of (WRONG; voice transmission do not require anything opposed to data or video transmissions; they are not against each other)

Sorry for the insufficiency of my whys and wherefores. I am a guest, doing my best. (Meali Alisi, benim adım hıdır, elimden gelen budur):smilies6:

A diyorum rather than burada ses iletmenin yanı sıra anlamı var.tabii alsoda önemli bir ipucu
