The first one is definately wrong.
whenever since used in the context of time,perfect should be used.elsewhile diff tense can be used depending on the context.
e:g-
since its raining lets play
since he called me I will go
1) In many upper class egyptian homes, french was spoken within the family, just as it had once been among the russian aristocracy
B) Just as the russian aristocracy once done
d) similar to what the russian aristocracy had done once
What i'm looking for is the explaination of usage of:
1) 'WHAT' in compariosns of clauses?
2) In what all cases 'WHAT' is preferred over 'AS' in clause compariosn
3) what exactly is the proper usage of 'Similar to'
2) According to some experts, corbon die oxide accumulating in the atmosphere so rapidly, largly beacuse of the burning of the fossil of fuel, that should the present rate of buildup continue, the global concentration of this poison will be double by end of the next century
A) that should the present rate of buildup continue, the global concentration of this poison
E) that the global concentration of this poison, if the present rate of buildup did continue,
My questions is, there are various ways to depicite the conditional possibility, could some one explain in what all scenarios, one is preferred over other??
>> Should you come late, i'll go movie alone?
>> If you come late, i'll go movie alone?
(PS - > i know whether can't be used in this context)
Lets make the basic stronger....

Add to my
a this decade saw the entertainment industry taking
b this decade, the entertainment industry has taken
c this decade, the entertainment industry had taken
d this decade, the entertainment industry took
e this decade, the entertainment industry would take away
My answers: A, B
1. Severing needs to be parallel to moving. Down to A and D. "them" in D is wrong. So A.
2. "has taken" is the correct usage with Since...and this decade. B all the way.
1. A -- i am quite positive
2. B -- certain about this one.
Reasoning for 1:
She made sacrifices doing X and doing Y. Both X and Y should be in "ing" form to indicate that they occured before the preceding clause too place (in this she made sacrifices). Manhattan GMAT sentence correction book has a very nice explanation for these type of sentences.

I am writing something i know about "should" vs "if"
There are 2 types of conditional clauses: true(factual) and untrue(hypothetical). Consider below examples:
if you don't take the test, you will not get any score.
can you replace "if" with "should"? NO because the condition is a fact. it's proven. Another example:
should you fall in trouble, call me.
Here "should" is correct because you don't know that the person you are advising will really fall in trouble. its hypothetical.
One more example :
if you should fall sick, call the doctor.
this sentence is correct too. 
For the example you have presented, i will pick :should the present rate of buildup continue
Do let me know know the OA.

Still the second one is left unanswered..."similar to" Vs "Just As"...

Try this:
In the Gulf of Mexico's 'dead zone,' every summer aquatic life is smothered in an area as large as the state of New Jersey,
A) which, according to scientists, is caused by excess nitrogen flushed down the Mississippi River.
B) which scientists say is caused by excess nitrogen flushed down the Mississippi River.
C) the cause of which, according to scientists, is excess nitrogen flushed down the Mississippi River.
D) the cause of which is excess nitrogen flushed down the Mississippi River say the scientists.
E) that comes from the flushing of excess nitrogen down the Mississippi River, according to scientists.
Try this:same mistake , its just 'that' is replacing 'which'

A) which, according to scientists, is caused by excess nitrogen flushed down the Mississippi River. - Wrong which is referring to new jersy here, which is not intended

So dogged were Frances Perkins investigations of the garment industry should be followed by something which is parallel to it...
1st part - Frances Perkins's investigations of garment industry.....
i guess only e parallels it..
a,b,d all have verb "was" which make them incorrect.
now left with options c and e.
if you look to maintain parallel constructs ,the 2nd part should start with "so...".
hence e)
please correct me if i am wrong.
a)Rather than accept the conventional wisdom that the earth was flat, Christopher Columbus was sent by the king and queen of Spain to see if he could reach India by sailing west.
b) Rather than accepting the conventional wisdom that the earth was flat, Christopher Columbus was sent by the king and queen of Spain to see if he could reach India by sailing west.
c)Instead of accepting the conventional wisdom that the earth was flat, Christopher Columbus sailed west to see whether he could reach India, having been sent by the king and queen of Spain. d)Rather than accept the conventional wisdom that the earth was flat, Christopher Columbus sailed west to see whether he could reach India, having been sent by the king and queen of Spain.
e) Instead of accepting the conventional wisdom that the earth was flat, Christopher Columbus was sent by the king and queen of Spain to sail west to see if he could reach India.
IMO E.
Correct usage of idiom: so X that. Here we have repetition of the same idiom which should be in parallel. However I feel E would sounded better if it was stated as :
and so persistent her lobbying for wage and hour reform, that -- note the "and" at the beginning. Even then E sounds the best. Let me know the OA.
So dogged were Frances Perkins investigations of the garment industry, and her lobbying for wage and hour reform was persistent, Alfred E. Smith and Franklin D. Roosevelt recruited Perkins to work within the government, rather than as a social worker.

Nice one. IMO D
because of "instead of" used for clause, we can safely ignore C & E
A & B make the sentence passive and gives the indication that King/Queen was reluctant to accept that earth was flat.
"Having been" used for D causes a little concern but the clarity of meaning always wins over anything else.

Spot on BizzareNym.
D) is infact the right answer.
I didnt know that "instead of..." cant precede a clause and hence chose c) as my answer.
and the modifier - "having been...." confused me as well. 😃 .
But i guess since it modifies the subject of the preceding clause,its ok gramatically...correct?.
