Hi puys, As most of you got it correct, Thanks everyone for attempting it. OA is Option-B.

Puys, Do post your explaination, we are here in common forum for discussion, keep analysing ! Give your thoughts to this also,

Any cable modem will occasionally fail to signal that there is a connection when it is present and mark that there is one when there is not.
A. that there is a connection when it is present and mark that there is one. B. when a connection is present and mark that there is one. C. a connection when it is present and mark that there is one. D. the presence of a connection when it is there and mark its presence.
I think the answer is option C; you 'signal' 'something' and that 'something' should be placed next to 'signal'. Waiting for the correct answer....
My answer is in bold.
Correct usage of idioms
so X as to be Y .X=adjective , Y=verb
so X that Y .X=adjective or adverb Y=clause
so X as to constitute Y .
Dude, the info that u've provided abt idioms is indeed useful. Mind naming the source?
My two cents:
"X enough to Y" is used when the emphasis is on Y. "So X as to Y" is used when the emphasis is on X. For example, "I am tall enough to touch the ceiling" implies that the focus is on the fact of being able to touch the ceiling. "So tall as to be able to touch the ceiling" implies that the focus is on the fact of being tall. (Source: Manhattan)
A)maintains parallelism : to pay and to profit and e) is also close. Okay,didnt notice companies'.....E should be the answer.
Awaiting OA

Question.In a leveraged buyout, investors borrow huge sums of money to buy companies, hoping to pay off the debt by using the companys earnings and to profit richly by the later resale of the companies or their divisions.
(A) by using the companys earnings and to profit -- wrong :should be companies earnings
(B) by using the companies earnings and by profiting -- awkward construction .. by profiting richly by the later resale..
(C) using the companies earnings and profiting -- alters the meaning of the original sentence.
(D) with the companys earnings, profiting -- wrong :should be companies earnings
(E) with the companies earnings and to profit looks good.

(A) have declined steadily during the first six months of this year but virtually remained unchanged
(B) declined steadily during the first six months of this year but virtually remain unchanged
(C) steadily declined during the first six months of this year but remain virtually unchanged
(D) declined steadily during the first six months of this but have remained virtually unchanging (E) declined steadily during the first six months of this year but have remained virtually unchanged
Cheers ! :drinking:
IMO E.
Here the first six months is simple past and last 3 months to present is present perfect, so we need have in thesencond half of the sentence.
