Answer's going to be see them reason 2 being that if we scroll down to 34, our sentence says yet 3 these studies funded by taxpayer money, 4 precisely because of the importance to the public interests are largely published in academic 5 journals, who steep subscription fees, 6 places blank out of rich, right out of breach. 7 And so our question first is what is out of reach. 8 And the answer is going to be the academic journals, 9 right? Which is a plural thing. So what is out of reaches the journals, 10 which are plural. So it's, shouldn't make any sense, 11 right? Because it is used for singular words. 12 So anything that singular can be eliminated, 13 including expert choice a, which was it B, 14 which is that, which is again, singular, singular, 15 and D, which is also singular. 16 And so just by knowing that we're talking about the academic journals being out 17 of reach and realizing that that's plural, we see that the only plural word 18 here is them.
