Hi Ron/Stacey

Can I take this as an exception to the rule that

'that' cannot be preceded by a comma when it is used in contsructions as this problem?

[mschwrtz]

If I understand your question correctly, then yes, this does constitute an exception.

The comma here has nothing to do with the "that." It just marks off the noun modifier "per milligram."

Hi Ron,

What is the difference between object of a proposition and an object pronoun and how do I differentiate between those in this case?

Please help!

[sangeethmani]

I have a sentence as given below:

I am planning to host a party for Jake, that will divert divert him from his misery.

In this object is party hence that will divert Jake from his misery.

Or does this sentence wrongly imply that Jake will divert him from his misery.

for basic grammar questions like this one**, in which you are requesting fundamental definitions of terms (as opposed to asking how those definitions apply to a specific problem), you are much better off searching the internet for explanations.
i.e., if you just do google searches for "object of a preposition" and "object pronoun", you will find explanations that are much better, and much more thorough, than we could possibly muster in a single forum post.
therefore, you should go ahead and do that -- google those terms and get the basic idea (be sure to look at LOTS OF EXAMPLES on the pages that you find; examples are about 1000 times as important as definitions), and then come back here and ask a specific question about the problem.

--

**by "basic" i don't mean "easy"; i mean "extremely fundamental".
objects of prepositions and object pronouns are completely different ideas; the former refers to the placement, or functionality, of a word in a sentence, while the latter refers to the form, or inherent characteristics, of the word itself. therefore, it doesn't make sense to ask a question that compares the two things (for the same reason it doesn't make sense to ask a question like "what's the difference between a girl and a student?").

so, please search the internet, learn the basic definitions of these terms, and then will be glad to help you with questions that apply those definitions to gmat problems.

thanks.

Would it be correct to say:

The new drug is being sold for three times of what the drug's maker charges for another product.

?

Thank you.

the "of" is incorrect in your sentence. if you get rid of the "of", your sentence can stand as an example of a grammatically correct sentence..

Thank you.
