I would have marked option D
A mine exploded last August while the field was being cleared.
...range from X and Y to A and B
IMO...E
Although I think " ...and increase in..." is better than "...and increases in..."

Hey Pagals, try these :
1.Distinguished architecture requires the expenditure of large sums of money, even if it is by no means certain that the expenditure of large sums of money produce distinguished architecture.
(A) even if it is by no means certain that the expenditure of large sums of money produce
"it" refers to architecture here. Architecture can not be certain about something!!
(B) even if it is by no means certain that the expenditure of large sums of money will produce
Same problem as A
(C) even though there is no certainty that the expenditure of money in large sums produces
(D) even though it is by no means certain that the expenditure of large sums of money produce
Same problem as A
(E) though there is no certainty as to the expenditure of money in large sums producing
This sentence a little better but its passiveness and "producing" at the end make it little awkward.

"that they can continue". Mandate is not for employees even when "they" may refer to employees.
c) that a company allow its retiring emloyees who would otherwis lose group health care coverage to continue
d) .... ( 😛 Dil Chahta hai )
e) companies to allow a retiring employee whose group health care covergae would otherwise be lost the coninuation of

Papa Ji,
My answers in bold. Also, please refrain from "not underlining" or "skipping choice A" or for that matter other choices. It just makes it too cumbersome. For example: in question 2 above, you did not underline the portion in question that needs correction, mentioned "same" for A, so I had to inspect other choices to identify which portion of the question are you talking about, and more over, you gracefully ignored D 😃 :nono:

Hey ...
do you happen to see the questions from Official Guide in the GMAT ??
I saw them comming up in the Powerprep Tests that i gave. And they were predominantly present there.
Suggest.
yes i have seen them on GMATPrep, not sure about powerprep.. Thats one drawback with tests from mba.com
I would suggest, if time permits you, take a break from OG and switch you some other book for sometime before taking further powerprep tests 
But if you have strong memory power, this method will not work. lol
I was just kidding. yes your observation is right.
