let me try to answer u
pronoun "that" has a capacity to refer to noun which can be far flung .this is a very special property of "that"
so yes in option C "that" is referring to "cable networks" and not to "children’s programming"
one more thing :when ever u r in doubt as in to what "that" is referring then look for the verb following "that"
in this case the verb following "that" is "dedicate" ,a plural verb so "that" ought to refer "cable networks"
ps : ron plz make corrections if i am wrong


Thank You Aditya !

well the real thanks is deserved by superstar Ron coz i am just one of his followers .if Gmatland is a place (somewhat like Greenland ) then probably Ron and Stacey are religions to be followed ....

Please be specific.

"- What do/don't you already understand about that answer choice?

"- What do/don't you already understand in the previous explanations?

"I don't understand the previous explanations" is impossible for us to answer effectively. Without knowing what you don't understand, we can't do much beyond just repeating the previous explanations.

definitely not. in fact, "with + NOUN + been..." would be incorrect under any circumstances.


I am sorry. I cannot understand the post aboove. why the structure like this is always wrong . Can you explian it more ?

that construction isn't even in any of the answer choices, so it's irrelevant.

this is an excellent illustration of why people shouldn't try to edit or invent answer choices to GMAC's problems.
