(E)Some airline companies prefer to spend extra money on leather seats, sometimes twice as expensive as the others, for their aircraft because they last twice as long.
The modifier " sometimes twice as expensive as the others " modifies leather seats and must be placed next to leather seats. Option C is awkward and unlear. Option E is the correct answer. Moreover the pronoun "their" refers back to companies & "they " refers back to leather seats in option E.

E looks the best. 😃
Nipunbans SaysGuys!! any more takers for this one? I was down to A, D. donno y A is wrong over D?
Yup I too, not posted my take earlier as you have already posted the option which I was thinking.
option A is I think correct. "responding" is modifying President Bush only.
Cause and Effect relationship, use of present participle is correct to show that.
If it is wrong then kindly post the OE !
Wow!!! Not a single one I answered is correct. Great...
Let me change my status first and then will go down have some caffeine
On my first go: ALL THE OA's FOR THESE QUESTIONS ARE INCORRECT.
Thanks,
Anurag...
.
and would try to feel the answer for 157. Personal experience would help I think.
hi Anurag!
i have done many questions from 1000 SC and the above mentioned are the tougher ones...so no need to worry much bout that!!
and Q 152 (coffee one) is dubious according to one Manhattan staff
I think the answer should be 'A' as it best suit for modifiers. Spend extra money on what and for whom. So A satisfies both. Although E looks good but it only says spend extra money on leather seats but leather seats for whom? It's aircraft or for their air port. Plz let me know if i am wrong

i'll go for option C here over option E coz the constrast 'despite' makes the sentence more meaningful..

right one
Classical guitar was neither prestigious nor played often in concert halls until it was revived by Andres Segovia in the mid-twentieth century, having been won over by the instrument's sound despite its relative obscurity.
You mean "having" correctly expresses the meaning here?
IMO a better construct would be:
Classical guitar was neither prestigious nor played often in concert halls until it was revived in the mid-twentieth century by Andres Segovia, having been won over by the instrument's sound despite its relative obscurity.
dare2 Saysi'll go for option C here over option E coz the constrast 'despite' makes the sentence more meaningful..
In C the only thing that has been bothering me :
c)Classical guitar was not prestigious and was not often played in concert halls until Andres Segovia revived it in the mid-twentieth century, after he was won over by the sound despite the instruments relative obscurity.
How am I supposed to understand that its the sound of the guitar? Maybe if the "the" is replaced by "its" this could be better.

OK. My Take.. Using POE
Two mistakes I can see are
1) was Neither X nor Y is right but not "was Neither X nor was Y". So A,E are out.
2 ) "Having been won over" should modify Andres...So A, B are out.
3) D doesn't make sense. "guitar having prestige..." etc
remaining - C
