IMO A. What's the OA?
My expln:

now take C the meaning changes, the meaning changes to Libya is transmitting the goods. so incorrect.
take E. Passive voice. So the correct ans IMO is A.:|

I would have marked option D ;) To develop more accurate population forecasts, demographers _____ determinants of fertility.
the use of word more discards option A and B from the answer choices.. since it is comparing (kinda) and not generalizing..
of C D and E, D is idiomatic.. and parallel in parts.. so thats the correct choice..
wats the OA??

Hey varun, "Which" indicates the noun immediately preceding it. So which here indicates population.So K,L,M are gone. O is not parallel with the rest of the sentence so incorrect. Hence N is the answer.:biggrin:
which refers to the noun preceding it - Presidential campaign --> which is wrong so D,E are gone accounted is in simple past tense. so the period 'previous' must be referred by 'past form' . so 'they have been' in C is wrong

Puys any alternative explanation.
Agree with your answer. moreover which refers to singular and here the underline phrase is referring to remedies.

Doesn't N seem too much convoluted? 1. size limits for shark catches - what is to be limited? not clear ... 2. sharks that are caught - should be sharks that can be caught
In N, which should refer to a number of remedies ...
Pearl crystal, here the second clause > state waters for shark fishing during pupping season, and requiring commercial fishers to have federal shark permits---- must be parallel. and only N maintains parallelism.
the establishing of ---the closing of---requiring are not parallel...

Any alternative expln puys?
Sorry but I don't understand that...
Do you mean: "......, which includes establishing limits ...., closing .... and requiring ...." is not parallel
Why do you say so?
3 actions are stated here ... include specifies what all actions are included. Does it make sense?

PearlCrystal Says
Doesn't using "would" give rise to inconsistent tenses?
That is the reason why I highlighted the word "more".. the idea is that seems they already have data, but for more accurate results they need something else.. and this need is asscoaited with "would"..
atleast this is wat I have done and followed.. now the puy who asked this and all other questions better come up with OAs and explanations..
Soaring television costs accounted for more than half the spending in the presidential campaign of 1992. a greater proportion than it was in any previous election. A.a greater proportion than it was B.a greater proportion than ( concise and correct) C a greater proportion than they have been D.which is greater than was so (what is it that which is modifying ?? and than ... so totally unidiomatic) E.which is greater than it has been ( no proper antecedent )
Any idea?
I guess A. But after second look I am editing the answer to B.

D.I am sure. A,B,C are out because its not the tree that is sucking sap. "causing needles to change .." is a participle phrase which is modifying adelgid.

Please help.
Aand E are out for comparing great deal with now :) C is out because economical is not parallel with social in C.
Stuck b/w B and D. But I would go for D !! I have no reason why π , may I am being stupid ) :banghead:

Test of between Vs Among . Among is wrong. Hence B,D are out. E is passive voice. C is a adjective clause modifying the Libya and not principal corridor.Hence wrong.

I will go with A.
A is pasive too i think corridor through is correct idiom
