(indicates <em>means<\/em>)<\/p>\n<p>4) I fixed the table with haste. (indicates <em>manner<\/em>)<\/p>\n<p>5) I fixed the table with my friend <a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/gre\/author\/chris\/\">Chris<\/a>.

are most like the accompaniment use of &#8220;with&#8221;, in #5 above: in all three of these, the object of &#8220;with&#8221; is a person with whom some has some kind of affiliation or affinity, or that person&#8217;s view.<\/p>\n<p>6) The Human Resources Director does not agree with the CFO&#8217;s plans for redesigning the employee retirement options.<\/p>\n<p>7) <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Brahms\">Brahms<\/a> collaborated with the famous violinist <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Joseph_Joachim\">Joseph Joachim<\/a> in composing his <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Violin_Concerto_(Brahms)\">Violin Concerto<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>8) Despite a lifetime of opposition, the nun sympathized with her gravely ill opponent.<\/p>\n<p>Similar to these is the idiom involving &#8220;<strong>enamored<\/strong>.&#8221;\u00a0 To be &#8220;enamored with&#8221; someone or something is to really like it: it has a connotation of something like romantic infatuation or passionate enthusiasm.<\/p>\n<p>8) For many years, <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Yeats\">Yeats<\/a> was enamored with Maud Gonne, who rejected Yeats&#8217; marriage proposals on four different occasions.<\/p>\n<p>9) Although <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Thomas_Jefferson\">Jefferson<\/a> was enamored with the idea of liberty and <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/All_men_are_created_equal\">equal rights<\/a> for all, the Southern delegates to the Continental Congress were successful in demanding that phrases condemning slavery be removed from the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/United_States_Declaration_of_Independence\">Declaration of Independence<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The idiom involving &#8220;<strong>provide<\/strong>&#8221; is most like the <em>means<\/em> example, #3 above.\u00a0\u00a0 Here, the object of the proposition &#8220;with&#8221; is a physical or metaphorical support given to someone.<\/p>\n<p>10) The resupply station provided the hungry soldiers with much-needed food.<\/p>\n<p>11) A young <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Reagan\">Reagan<\/a> secretly provided the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/House_Committee_on_Un-American_Activities\">HUAC<\/a> with damning information about his fellow actors.<\/p>\n<p>12) <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Aquinas\">Aquinas<\/a>&#8216;

and &#8220;<strong>comply<\/strong>&#8221; is somewhat analogous to the <em>manner<\/em> example, #4 above, only insofar as the object of &#8220;with&#8221; is necessarily something abstract. \u00a0\u00a0In the idiom &#8220;<strong>to credit A with B<\/strong>&#8220;, A is the person who receives the credit, and B is the quality or accomplishment attributed to the person.<\/p>\n<p>13) Even his political foes credit the prime minister with exceptional integrity.<\/p>\n<p>14) Although <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Gregor_Mendel\">Gregor Mendel<\/a> enjoyed scant scientific recognition, current biologists universally credit him with the discovery of <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Genetics\">genetics<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In the idiom to &#8220;<strong>comply with X<\/strong>&#8220;, the X is a law, a rule, or some other abstract authoritative principle.<\/p>\n<p>15) The CEO fired the vice president for repeatedly failing to comply with company policy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Comparisons and other relationships<\/h2>\n<p>Here are three idioms that, in one way or another, are used in how we would compare or relate two things.<\/p>\n<p><strong>compare A with B<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>contrast A with B<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>consistent with<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One of the many ways to construct a grammatically correct comparison is to use the verb &#8220;compare&#8221;

+ &#8220;with&#8221;, is common on the GMAT Sentence Correction &#8212; &#8220;<strong>Compared with A, B<\/strong> \u2026&#8221; &#8212; and of course, A and B must be in parallel.<\/p>\n<p>For the word &#8220;contrast&#8221;, we need to be careful.\u00a0 If we are actively discussing a person who is performing the contrast, then we can say this person &#8220;contrasts A with B.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>18) In the novel <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Puddin%27head_Wilson\"><em>Pudd&#8217;nhead Wilson<\/em><\/a>, Mark Twain contrasts the utter privilege enjoyed by the aristocracy in the antebellum South with arbitrary and dismal fate of slaves.<\/p>\n<p>Many times, especially on GMAT Sentence Correction, the sentence forms a contrast and who is doing the contrast is not important.\u00a0\u00a0 By idiom and unlike with &#8220;compare&#8221;, we do <strong><em>not<\/em><\/strong> use the participle form of the verb<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000\">Contrasted with A, B &#8230;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>That will always be wrong.\u00a0 The correct idiom is &#8220;<strong>In contrast with A, B \u2026<\/strong>&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>19) In contrast with the single-book scriptures of each of the three great <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Abrahamic_religions\">Western Religions<\/a>, the Pali Canon, the standard collection of the scriptures of <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Theravada\">Theravada<\/a> Buddhism, easily would fill a large bookcase, although ironically, Buddhism is much less text-based than are its Western counterparts.<\/p>\n<p>The idiom involving the adjective &#8220;consistent&#8221; is similar, although discussion of consistency differs from comparisons <em>per se<\/em>.\u00a0\u00a0 When we say <strong>A is consistent with B<\/strong>, we generally mean that B is some larger system or set of rules, and A is something that &#8220;fits into&#8221; this larger system.<\/p>\n<p>20) In <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Brown_vs._Board_of_Education\">Brown vs. the Board of Education<\/a>, the Supreme Court found that legally enforced segregation was not consistent with the Equal Protection Clause of the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Fourteenth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution\">Fourteen Amendment<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>21) Euclid&#8217;s fifth postulate, the notorious <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Parallel_postulate\">Parallel Postulate<\/a>, is consistent with the other four postulates, although it cannot be deduced independently from them.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Summary<\/h2>\n<p>Know the idioms given in bold in this post.\u00a0 As always with idioms, read, read, <a href=\"https:\/\/magoosh.com\/gmat\/gmat-reading-list\/\">read<\/a>!\u00a0\u00a0 Search for the idioms in this post in context.\u00a0 You understand English best when you understand it in context.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prepositions in English display a powerful diversity of uses.\u00a0 In the previous preposition article, we talked about the proposition &#8220;to&#8221;.\u00a0 Here, we will look, at the preposition &#8220;with.&#8221;
