sourav106 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 16. This April, three out of seven people will file tax returns with a disk found in software stores and accounting texts. A. tax returns with a disk found in software stores and accounting texts B. a tax return with a disk found in software stores and accounting texts C. tax returns with disks found in a software store and an accounting text D. tax returns with a disk found in a software store and an accounting text E. a tax return with a disk found in a software sotre and an accounting text Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockerz Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I think C,D and E are out..disk found in a store and in a text seem to indicate that they r just available in one shop/one text. That is not what the sentence tends to convey. Between A and B for me. I m choosing A..really unsure though. Thrs another tread on this which says the question is from kaplan. Supposedly the OA is B but i cant really make sense out of the explanation given. I hope gmat doesnt give this kind of crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiver Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 This one very tricky. A,B & C are out as the number of disk(s) does not agree with the number of text(s). Between D & E, I'll go for E. Atleast here all are singular (tax return, disk & accounting text) meaning that each one of the 3 people will file an individual tax return each using one disk and one accounting text. Whats the OA mate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolaman Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 "Tax returns will be filed with a disk". The options are narrowed down to A and D. We don't require 'a' before software stores. A should be the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diehard800 Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 16. This April, three out of seven people will file tax returns with a disk found in software stores and accounting texts. A. tax returns with a disk found in software stores and accounting texts CORRECT B. a tax return with a disk found in software stores and accounting texts - all three cant file a single return CDE wrong for as they refer to single store C. tax returns with disks found in a software store and an accounting text - D. tax returns with a disk found in a software store and an accounting text E. a tax return with a disk found in a software sotre and an accounting text i m sure OA is A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogesh_kkk Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 C,D and E are out because "software store and an accounting text" means there is only single store and text A is out because a person can file only one tax return -- so plural form of tax returns is incorrect B is best choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiranlegend Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Imo B Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diehard800 Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 I also agree "A" is wrong as three people cant use the same disk ....... but at the same time B is also mistaken in the same way........it says that the a tax return was filed by three people..... This is also wrong........Pl help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apoorva.srivastva Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 I too feel that the answer is A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amit_ace Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 I think it should be D A & B give a feeling that disk is found in OA please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sourav106 Posted August 9, 2008 Author Share Posted August 9, 2008 OA for this one is B.. But to be frank this never seemed to me of GMAT quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diehard800 Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 OA is B ..........i hav seen the question from some other source on net But still i m not convinced with the answer being B........as it states that 3 ppl were submitting a single tax return.........
