hikaru Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 The expected rise in the price of oil could be a serious impact to industrialized nations and severely diminish the possibility to have an economy free of inflation. (A) be a serious impact to industrialized nations and severely diminish the possibility to have (B) seriously impact on industrialized nations and severely impede the possibility to have © seriously impact on industrialized nations and severely impede the possibility of having (D) have a serious impact on industrialized nations and severely impede the possibility to have (E) have a serious impact on industrialized nations and severely diminish the possibility of having The answer is E. I know that A,B, and C are not parallel because "and" connects noun (impact) and verb (impede/diminish), but what's wrong with D? I think GMAT don't like having so I eliminate E. Is it the idiom "the possibility of..." ? :hmm: :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
