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.

Although all the proceedings of the Communist party conference held in Moscow were not carried live, Soviet audiences have seen a great deal of coverage. (A) all the proceedings of the Communist party conference held in Moscow were not carried live (B) all the Communist party conferences Moscow proceedings were not carried live (C) all the Communist party conference Moscow proceedings have not been carried alive (D) not all the Communist party conference Moscow proceedings have been carried alive (E) not all the proceedings of the Communist party conference held in Moscow were carried live
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
PS: I am new to this thread, Can i know what does OA,IMO expand to?
the problem with E is "solitary and mournfully howling". and represents parallelism so solitary is an adjective and mournfully is an adverb modifying adjective howling. So they are not parallel. SO E cannot be correct answer. Puys... Any explantion???

OA is option A
OA is option E
Can some body explain why A is wrong for second question... only the placement of not is different in both A and E
Can some body explain why A is wrong for second question... only the placement of not is different in both A and 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.
Now if I ask u to fill in the blank space, Although ______________ Soviet audiences have seen a great deal of coverage. you would know that Soviet audiences have seen great deal of coverage.. somthing like "more than they would have expected"
Option A: all the proceedings of the Communist party conference held in Moscow were not carried live - If ALL was NOT carried live.. then how is the second part in the sentence possible. the entire meaning is changes thanks to this answer option.
Option E: not all the proceedings of the Communist party conference held in Moscow were carried live - this means that though it was problematic..blah blah blah.. then second part of the sentence..
Does that help!! ;)

I will go with 3,
Causing and result are the same. so 1, 2 are incorrect.4 uses "and" and therefore the second clause cannot act as a modifier.
in 5 the "as many as" is used. as many as is used to indicate a definite quantity but in this case we dont know the exact number so as much as is correct.

IMO: Ans is ...3 ...as many as...is wrong as percentage is singular. So 1,4,5 are wrong ...causing the result...is redundant. So 2 is wrong.

3 is definately the answer.1/2 are redundant.and in 4 states poor weather is responsible and in 5 the parrallel structure of the two parts not synchronised.

1,4,5 can be eliminated on the grounds of using as many as 15% population. it shud be 'as much as'

OA - official ans. IMO -- in my opinion.
eliminate B, E for using wrong idiom , 'dipict to be'. correct usage : 'dipict as'
Eliminate D:Wrong usage of conditional clause : IF
Between A, C
A makes comparison, and c doesnot. But from original statement we can make out that it is abt comparison of depiction of cayotes in films and in reality.
