SC

After I did the 47th SC question of OG13, I am confused.
I will make an analogy to illustrate my problem.
1. I translate a work that someone pronounced the greatest work.
2. I translate a work that someone pronounced it as the greatest work.
Both sentences seem correct to me.
Dear instructors, If I am wrong, please correct me.
Thanks in advance.

that's not an "analogy"; those are the same words that appear in the original probelm. to be an analogy, it would have to be different.

however, this question is general enough to be answered here.

rather than writing generalities, i'll just show you a couple of pairs of examples. within each pair, the blue words serve the same function.

There is a book on the table. I read it yesterday.
The book that I read yesterday is on the table.


These tax deductions add up to $5000. The auditor disallowed them.

your #2 is trying to use both blue things. that's not possible.
