buskool Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 IMO B two things that I notted. 1. The last part of the sentence should have Between rich and poor. ( we can eliminate A.C.E 2. Status over others is correct. Eliminate D. We have B as answer. Whats the OA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingsingh Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 what about the pronoun " Which " is there no ambiguity in its refernce ... Pronoun 'which' is referring to the noun 'the courts' that is placed immediately before the pronoun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puru8816 Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 IMO: D A/C/E - among. "Between X and Y" is correct B: preferred status over others. D: "Prefer X to Y" correct idiom. some litigants have a preferred status to another. "not" equally distributed - is better/clear in meaning than the phrase "unequally distributed" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buskool Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Umm.. I am thinking what does others refer to ?? Is it the other litigants like in B or Another status like in D. Can somebody clarify ?? If its litigants than I don't think we can compare/contrast "Some" with "another". example,, some people drink others don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
