Giải thích: Cấu trúc so sánh hơn kém với tính từ ngắn
S + be + adj-er + than + N = cái này như thế nào hơn cái khác
“Good” là một tình từ đặc biệt. khi so sánh hơn kém sẽ được chuyển thành tính từ “better”.
Còn từ “as” được sử dụng khi so sánh ngang bằng:
S + be + as + adj + as + N = cái này như thế nào ngang với cái khác
Sửa lỗi: as the first => than the first
Dịch nghĩa: Nếu các thành viên ban điều hành đã xem xét các lựa chọn thay thế một cách cẩn thận hơn, họ sẽ nhận ra rằng lựa chọn thứ hai là tốt hơn so với lựa chọn đầu tiên.

Cấu trúc đảo ngữ với câu điều kiện loại 3: Had + S + V(phân từ), S + would + have + V(phân từ)
B. more carefully = một cách cẩn thận hơn
Đây là so sánh hơn kém để bổ nghĩa cho động từ “consider” nên là so sánh với trạng từ chứ không phải so sánh với tính từ.
C. the second was = cái thứ hai là

The history of television really begins in 1817 with the discovery by Berzelius, a Swedish chemist, of the chemical selenium. It was found that the amount of electric current that selenium could carry depended on how much light struck it.

Orchids are unique in having the most highly developed of all blossoms, in which the usual male and female reproductive organs are fused in a single structure called the column. The column is designed so that a single pollination will fertilize hundreds or thousands, and in some cases millions, of seeds, so microscopic and light they are easily carried by the breeze. Surrounding the column are three sepals and three petals, sometimes easily recognizable as such, often distorted into gorgeous, weird, but always functional shapes. The most noticeable of the petals is called the labellum, or lip. It is often dramatically marked as an unmistakable landing strip to attract the specific insect the orchid has chosen as its pollinator.
To lure their pollinators from afar, orchids use appropriately intriguing shapes, colors, and scents. At least 50 different aromatic compounds have been analyzed in the orchid family, each blended to attract one, or at most a few, species of insects or birds. Some orchids even change their scents to interest different insects at different times.
Once the right insect has been attracted, some orchids present all sorts of one-way obstacle courses to make sure it does not leave until pollen has been accurately placed or removed. By such ingenious adaptations to specific pollinators, orchids have avoided the hazards of rampant crossbreeding in the wild, assuring the survival of species as discrete identities. At the same time they have made themselves irresistible to collectors.
The orchid is unique because of_________
