- nsomaru 11y ago"Radar" is in the singular, so the plural "heartbeats" cannot apply to it. edit: Also, if somehow the radar had multiple heartbeats, we would have used "its heartbeats" rather than "their heartbeats." disclaimer: I am not a grammarian or a linguist (IANAGOAL?)
- eridius 11y agoThat's not the ambiguity. The ambiguity is whether the Radar found them by their heartbeats, or whether they were trapped by their heartbeats.
- sliverstorm 11y agoOr did the radar find the men, while trapped in the rubble by the men's heartbeats?
- eridius 11y agoThat doesn't work because "found 4 men" is not a modifier on "NASA's Radar". If it said "NASA's Radar Found By 4 Men Trapped In Rubble" then that would work.
