One of Ronald Reagan's first acts as President was to rescind President Carter's directive that any chemical banned on medical grounds in the United States be prohibited from sale to other countries.
(A) that any chemical banned on medical grounds in the United States be prohibited from sale to other countries-use of 'be' incorrect
(B) that any chemical be prohibited from sale to other countries that was banned on medical grounds in the United States--here other countries are seem to be banned.
(C) prohibiting the sale to other countries of any chemical banned on medical grounds in the United States-correct
(D) prohibiting that any chemical banned on medical grounds in the United States is sold to other countries--prohibiting that is wrong usage
(E) that any chemical banned in the United States on medical grounds is prohibited from being sold to other countri--being used is incorrect
Option A and option E are close oens.. rest can be removed after first glance..
(A) that any chemical banned on medical grounds in the United States be prohibited from sale to other countries & (E) that any chemical banned in the United States on medical grounds is prohibited from being sold to other countri
considering the underlined portion in option E, I discarded this as well.. so left with option A, which is correct ;)
One of Ronald Reagans first acts as President was to rescind President Carters directive that any chemical banned on medical grounds in the United States be prohibited from sale to other countries.
(A) that any chemical banned on medical grounds in the United States be prohibited from sale to other countries
(B) that any chemical be prohibited from sale to other countries that was banned on medical grounds in the United States
(C) prohibiting the sale to other countries of any chemical banned on medical grounds in the United States
(D) prohibiting that any chemical banned on medical grounds in the United States is sold to other countries
(E) that any chemical banned in the United States on medical grounds is prohibited from being sold to other countri
will go with C. Other than C, the only choice which is kind of misleading is A but the use of "be" indicates the event to happen in future but the sentence is in past. Other choices are either wordy or awkward or both.
One of Ronald Reagans first acts as President was to rescind President Carters directive that any chemical banned on medical grounds in the United States be prohibited from sale to other countries.
(A) that any chemical banned on medical grounds in the United States be prohibited from sale to other countries two clauses are joined by word " that" and actually there is no need
(B) that any chemical be prohibited from sale to other countries that was banned on medical grounds in the United States be prohibited doesnt match with the tense of this sentence
(C) prohibiting the sale to other countries of any chemical banned on medical grounds in the United StatesCorrect Answer : removing that..making the sentence more precise and clear
(D) prohibiting that any chemical banned on medical grounds in the United States is sold to other countries prohibiting that ..changes the actual meaning of the sentence
(E) that any chemical banned in the United States on medical grounds is prohibited from being sold to other countri is being sold? hahahahaha... past + simple present tense... Eliminate this for sure... And moreover it contains word "Being" and in GMAT 99% the answer option containing word "Being" is wrong
One of Ronald Reagans first acts as President was to rescind President Carters directive that any chemical banned on medical grounds in the United States be prohibited from sale to other countries.
(A) that any chemical banned on medical grounds in the United States be prohibited from sale to other countries correct -- satisfies subjunctive mood (B) that any chemical be prohibited from sale to other countries that was banned on medical grounds in the United States -- wrong : that seems to be refering to countries. (C) prohibiting the sale to other countries of any chemical banned on medical grounds in the United States --wrong : we need that subjunctive mood
(D) prohibiting that any chemical banned on medical grounds in the United States is sold to other countries --wrong : we need that subjunctive mood
(E) that any chemical banned in the United States on medical grounds is prohibited from being sold to other countri wrong : from being sold .. wrong construction
Personal trainers and fitness coaches are to the narcissistic 1980's just like a private fencing master and dancing teacher was to an earlier time.

(A) just like a private fencing master and dancing teacher was (B) as have been a private fencing master and dancing teacher (C) what private fencing masters and dancing teachers were (D) what private fencing masters and dancing teachers are (E) just the same as private fencing masters and dancing teachers had been
here the sentence is trying to convey anology rather than comparision. So just & as are out. left with C,D And D maintains parallelism.

correct answer is option C option D contains tense error. it should be "were" for "to an earlier time"
the answer to ur previous question (president Carter's directive) should be option A rather than option C. Would u be able to disclose the source for that question, because u said the correct answer is C, but it doesn't seem so.
The answer for personal trainers............. is C.Both questions are from 1000 sentence corrections online.
i suspected so.. though u're probably aware, i would like to point out that 1000SC's have few incorrect answer keys.
Even though i don't claim that i'm 100% right in case of directive wala question, i'd (very humbly) advice u against depending only upon those answer keys or the discussions here to validate the answers.
No offence meant to anyone. We're all aspirants, and hence susceptible to mistakes, there is no GMAT instructor here as far as i know.
