1.. the subject under question here is "animal-hide shields with wooden frames".( a verbal description follows starting with a verb)..the modifier for this subject subject has to be between C & D..in D we see it ends with of..it should be for instead of of..we can come down to C as the right
for 2...subject here in question is chartered vacations..so the pronoun should be they..so we see the sequence of tense and see that..it has to be between A and C( B.. a present indefinite compared to present..instead this clause has to be in past ).. C although beers the same meaning.it's awkward to me..
aju007 SaysA is pasive too i think corridor through is correct idiom
You are right !! I missed the logic.
sure..here are the answers -
Soaring television costs accounted for more than - C
To develop more accurate population forecasts - E

E.which is greater than it has been
Any idea?

C.would have to know a great deal more than they do now about the social and economical

Soaring television costs accounted for more than half the spending in the presidential campaign of 1992. ________ in any previous election.
Now the comparison is between the "costs" and not the "cost" per say.. so they is used.
======
To develop more accurate population forecasts, demographers ___________ determinants of fertility.
D.would have to know a great deal more than they do now about the social and economic
E.would have to know a great deal more than now about the social and economical
I myself marked D as my option, why D is something I explained in the prev posts.. seems that is incorrect bcoz of one very silly miss from my side.. E is the correct answer indeed.
see, the author is talking about population forecasts.. and about the determinats for the population.. now the determinants have to be cheap (as implied in the true sense of the sentence..).. and so economical and not economic.. the sentence sounds awkward with economic determinants.. but makes complete sense when we say 'social & economical determinants of population forecasts'
hope that helps!! 😉
A majority of the international journalists surveyed view nuclear power stations as unsafe at present but that they will, or could, be made sufficiently safe in the future.
(A) that they will, or could,

(D) think that they will be or could
(E) think the power stations would or could
I liked this one 😉

I think it's E since 'they' in the other options is still not clear whether it refers to the journalists or the power station.
Genetic engineers have announced that the duplication of residual DNA from organisms that have not decayed completely and reconstructing the DNA sequences would not succeed if the original DNA sequences were degraded beyond 25 percent.
A. reconstructing the DNA sequences would not succeed if the original
DNA sequences were degraded beyond 25 percent.
B. the reconstruction of the DNA sequences will not succeed if the original
DNA sequences would be degraded beyond 25 percent.
C. reconstructing the DNA sequence would not succeed where the original
DNA sequence is degraded more than 25 percent.
D. the reconstruction of the DNA sequences would not succeed were the original DNA sequence degraded more than 25 percent.
E. the reconstruction of the DNA sequences will not succeed if the original
DNA sequences are degraded more than 25 percent.

In this case, why not C?
C.would have to know a great deal more than they do now about the social and economical
E.would have to know a great deal more than now about the social and economical
Is the comparision correct in E?
In this case, why not C?
C.would have to know a great deal more than they do now about the social and economical
E.would have to know a great deal more than now about the social and economical
Is the comparision correct in E?
bcoz C is wordy...
nuttyvarun Saysbcoz C is wordy...
The only words that make C wordy are "than they do now" --- and they are used to compare.
Thats what my question was ..
... why is the comparision ok?than they do now or than now?

Possible long-term consequences of the "greenhouse effect," the gradual warming of the Earth's climate, may include melting the polar ice caps and a rising sea level.
A. may include melting the polar ice caps and a rising sea level
B. may include the melting of polar ice caps and the rising sea level
C. may include polar ice caps that are melting and sea levels that are rising
D. include melting the polar ice caps and sea levels that are rising
E. include melting of the polar ice caps and a rise in sea level
Possible long-term consequences of the "greenhouse effect," the gradual warming of the Earths climate, may include melting the polar ice caps and a rising sea level.
A. may include melting the polar ice caps and a rising sea level
B. may include the melting of polar ice caps and the rising sea level
C. may include polar ice caps that are melting and sea levels that are rising
D. include melting the polar ice caps and sea levels that are rising
E. include melting of the polar ice caps and a rise in sea level
Possible long term consequences ..may include
May is redundant. I think maybe if possible is used, using may is not necessary.
Possible causes of tuberculosis may include malnutrition and current life style.
Possible causes of tuberculosis include malnutrition and current life style.
The second sentence appears to be more proper and crisp.
So a, b and c are eliminated.
d) melting the polar ice caps sounds crazy. Melting of the polar ice caps is good.
e) most correct option.
I think E is the answer. Can you please post the OA for this.
OA is E.....
