keep an eye on "According to Inter study" and now find out the matching sentence.. ;)
only option B, C and E are possible fits.. now lets eliminate the impossible combos..
"being" used in option B makes it wrong chioce..

(D) the most nutritious parts of the plant, shatters and falls
(E) parts of the plant which are the most nutritious, have shattered and fallen
rate of increase is compared.. so it cannot be faster or greater...
answer must be "twice what it was in"
I would ahve marked option C
1. In the 1980s the rate of increase of the minority population of the United States was nearly twice as fast as the 1970s.
(A) twice as fast as
(B) twice as fast as it was in
(C) twice what it was in
(D) two times faster than that of
(E) two times greater than
I was confused between option C and option D
"as much as 20% of the leaf and small-stem material"
much = non-countable nouns = singular nouns
many = countable = plural
So we need a singular verb here..i.e. "shatters and falls"
hence I would have marked option D
please lemme know the OA ;)
