1. Added to the increase in hourly wages requested last July, the railroad employees are now seeking an expanded program of retirement benefits. (A) Added to the increase in hourly wages requested last July, the railroad employees are now seeking an expanded program of retirement benefits. (B) Added to the increase in hourly wages which had been requested last July, the employees of the railroad are now seeking an expanded program of retirement benefits. (C) The railroad employees are now seeking an expanded program of retirement benefits added to the increase in hourly wages that were requested last July. (D) In addition to the increase in hourly wages that were requested last July, the railroad employees are now seeking an expanded program of retirement benefits. (E) In addition to the increase in hourly wages requested last July, the employees of the railroad are now seeking an expanded program of retirement benefits.
A. Added to the increaseis wrongly used here. It should be in addition to. B. Same as A C. Again added to the D. Seems to be correct E. That is missing. Reference that should be there. Employees of the railroad is unnecessary and awkward. Railroad employees is ok. So my choice is D. Can you provide the OA.
The principal has sought approval for her plan to grant promotions to only those seventh-grade students proficient in reading without meeting with opposition.
(A) reading without meeting with opposition (B) reading, having met with no opposition (C) reading, without the opposition of others (D) reading, and has not met with opposition (E) reading without opposition
The meaning of the sentence which I infer is that the principal has sought an approval for her plan and she didn't face any opposition on her plan.
without meeting with opposition doesn't give clear meaning. It seems here opposition is used for seventh grade students.
Appears to be correct but awkward. Having met is awkward.
Grammatically wrong. No opposition is an even past seeking of approval.
@Mcnabb_ISB... you got it right... tha OA is indeed option E ;)

D is grammatically incorrect because it's not the wages that were requested, but the increase that was requested

Appears to be correct but awkward. Having met is awkward.
Grammatically wrong. No opposition is an even past seeking of approval.
Seems to be most correct.
Same as A.
I will go with D. What is the OA.
Yes...correct answer is D. But then I've another question from OG-12 (Q-134) which brought the confusion. Here is the question:
Recently implemented "shift-work equations" based on studies of the human sleep cycle have reduced sickness, sleeping on the job, fatigue among shift workers and have raised production efficiency in various industries. A. fatigue among shift workers and have raised B. fatigue among shift workers, and raised C. and fatigue among shift workers while raising D. lowered fatigue among shift workers, and raised E. and fatigue among shift workers was lowered while raising

Although films about the American West depict coyotes as solitary animals howling mournfully on the tops of distant hills, in reality these gregarious creatures live in stable groups that occupy the same territory for long periods.
(A) films about the American West depict coyotes as solitary animals howling mournfully on the tops of distant hills (B) in films about the American West coyotes are depicted to be solitary animals that howl mournfully on the tops of distant hills (C) coyotes are depicted as solitary animals howling mournfully on the tops of distant hills in films about the American West (D) films about the American West depict coyotes as if they were solitary, mournfully howling animals on the tops of distant hills (E) films about the American West depict coyotes to be solitary and mournfully howling animals on the tops of distant hills

B and C are not right ( I think improper construction) don't know the exact rules for eliminating.
Between D and E, D ends with alive, giving a different meaning, so answer is E. ----------------------------------------

Here B and C conveys that the animals are depicted(past tense), so we can eliminate.
D conveys "as if", which alters the meaning.
E should be correct

(C) all the Communist party conference Moscow proceedings have not been carried alive => alive? How many conferences are we referring to... (D) not all the Communist party conference Moscow proceedings have been carried alive =>alive? (E) not all the proceedings of the Communist party conference held in Moscow were carried live

Although all the people are not my friend,some are. Although not all people are my friend,some are.

I think the answer is E
Here the original sentence means despite none of the proceedings were carried live, people saw most of them. this is a illogical meaning and the placement of not must be changed.
B and C are not right ( I think improper construction) don't know the exact rules for eliminating.
Between D and E, D ends with alive, giving a different meaning, so answer is E. ----------------------------------------
