in theory, international civil servants at the united nations are prohibited from continuing to draw salaries from their own governments; in practice, however, some governments merely substitute living allowances for their employees paychecks, assigned by them to the united nations.
(a) for their employees paychecks, assigned by them 'assigned by them' is ambiguous (b) for the paychecks of their employees who have been assigned
(c) for the paychecks of their employees, having been assigned having been assigned???
(d) in place of their employees paychecks, for those of them assigned 'those of them' redundant and wordy...
(e) in place of the paychecks of their employees to have been assigned by them 'employees to have been' there is no use of 'to' here..

Substitute - for is right usage. comma unnecessary here. Stay away from apostrophe choices (specially plural) if possible.
Since 1986 when the Department of Labor began to allow investment officers fees to be based on how the funds they manage perform, several corporations began paying their investment advisers a small basic fee, with a contract promising higher fees if the managers perform well. (A) investment officers fees to be based on how the funds they manage perform, several corporations began (B) investment officers fees to be based on the performance of the funds they manage, several corporations began (C) that fees of investment officers be based on how the funds they manage perform, several corporations have begun (D) fees of investment officers to be based on the performance of the funds they manage, several corporations have begun (E) that investment officers fees be based on the performance of the funds they manage, several corporations began
Again, "stay away from apostrophe choices" as much as possible. Since-have begun is needed in this context, owing to a action-reaction continuum scenario.
In theory, international civil servants at the United Nations are prohibited from continuing to draw salaries from their own governments; in practice, however, some governments merely substitute living allowances for their employees paychecks, assigned by them to the United Nations.
(A) for their employees paychecks, assigned by them

(C) for the paychecks of their employees, having been assigned
(D) in place of their employees paychecks, for those of them assigned
(E) in place of the paychecks of their employees to have been assigned by them
Its B. A-> 'them' creates ambiguity..also the phrase assigned by them modifies paychecks not the employees. C-> having been not very clear.. D & E -> redundant..substitute & in place of have got d same work 2 do..
Although all the proceedings of the Communist party conference held in Moscow were not carried live, Soviet audiences have seen a great deal of coverage. (A) all the proceedings of the Communist party conference held in Moscow were not carried live (B) all the Communist party conference's Moscow proceedings were not carried live (C) all the Communist party conference Moscow proceedings have not been carried alive (D) not all the Communist party conference Moscow proceedings have been carried alive (E) not all the proceedings of the Communist party conference held in Moscow were carried live
Although all the proceedings of the Communist party conference held in Moscow were not carried live, Soviet audiences have seen a great deal of coverage. (A) all the proceedings of the Communist party conference held in Moscow were not carried live (B) all the Communist party conference's Moscow proceedings were not carried live (C) all the Communist party conference Moscow proceedings have not been carried alive (D) not all the Communist party conference Moscow proceedings have been carried alive (E) not all the proceedings of the Communist party conference held in Moscow were carried live
why E..any epln??
Although is used when condition is positive and result is surprise/unexpected. Since not is negative qualifier in condition, it looks negative. A-> condition looks negative B-> Unclear. it changes meaning that conference were held in Moscow only C-> passive D-> passive E-> is correct as 'not' now makes sentence positive and result unexpected.
I have started prep few days back. So pls DONT take this as authentic. Can anyone comment on my explanation.
Although all the proceedings of the Communist party conference held in Moscow were not carried live, Soviet audiences have seen a great deal of coverage. (A) all the proceedings of the Communist party conference held in Moscow were not carried live (B) all the Communist party conferences Moscow proceedings were not carried live (C) all the Communist party conference Moscow proceedings have not been carried alive (D) not all the Communist party conference Moscow proceedings have been carried alive (E) not all the proceedings of the Communist party conference held in Moscow were carried live
why E..any epln??
my logic says that we always encounter statements which have a negative connotation with altho...like altho he was ill....altho he is a bad boy...etc...the point is that we use altho then we cant begin positively..we need to have a clause/phrase that makes it look negative...so E
A and E have a subtle but a big difference between them.
(A) all the proceedings of the Communist party conference held in Moscow were not carried live it means all were not carried live. in other words, none was carried live (E) not all the proceedings of the Communist party conference held in Moscow were carried live it means not all but few proceedings were carried live.
Hope this clarifies why E is preferable.
Although all the proceedings of the Communist party conference held in Moscow were not carried live, Soviet audiences have seen a great deal of coverage.
