Grammar Question!!!

[Anonymous]

The combination of two lenses makes possible greater magnification
than can be achieved with a single lens.

In this sentence, I think 'greater magnification' should be in
between makes and possible. But I heard I'm wrong.

Help me, Plz.

I think you're right. ;-)

In this case, I prefer it with "possible" where it is. It was done to leave "magnification" adjecent to "than" for the purposes of comparison. Senetnces can get confusing if the the camparison strays too far from the original. :wink:
