Hello,
what would you consider more appropriate?
-"She is writing her thesis under my guidance on a topic related to the Australian tax system compared with the European one",
-"She is writing her thesis under my guidance on a topic related to the Australian tax system in comparison with the European one"
-"She is writing her thesis under my guidance on a topic related to the Australian tax system assessed in comparison with the European one"
Thanks in advance
First sentence: It is correct, and "appropriate," but in my opinion it would sound better to conclude, ".... the Australian tax system as compared to the European one."
Second sentence: It is also correct and "appropriate."
Third sentence: It is correct, but the phrase "assessed in comparison with" sounds needlessly wordy. It's my least favorite choice.
In all three sentences, the word "subject" would sound better than "topic."
The following is a question for you. Is there a European tax system, i.e., a "European one"? I thought each country in Europe has its own tax system. I don't know the answer, but wanted to call my question to your attention.
