Hi,

I came across this sentence in a newspaper.

1)Romney has also endorsed a personhood initiative [url]treating a fertilized egg as a legal person[/url]

2)Romney has also endorsed a personhood initiative that treats a fertilized egg as a legal person

In Sentence 1) Is the underlined part modifying the noun "Personhood Initiative"?

Are sentence 1) & 2) mean the same or is there any difference?

Can experts pls clarify this for me.

Thanks
Rahul

this is a perfect example of why you should restrict your study of SC to questions that were specifically designed for the GMAT. not everyone in the real world adheres to the rules of GMAT grammar, and looking in random places for SC examples will likely only confuse and frustrate you. the GMAT would probably consider your second example correct but not the first one. both modifiers refer to the initiative though..
