Thanks Mitzi, for looking into this.. ok here is one eg.
In virtually all types of tissue in every animal species, dioxin induces the production of enzymes that are the organism’s trying to metabolize, or render harmless, the chemical that is irritating it.
(A) trying to metabolize, or render harmless, the chemical that is irritating it
(B) trying that it metabolize, or render harmless, the chemical irritant
© attempt to try to metabolize, or render harmless, such a chemical irritant
(D) attempt to try and metabolize, or render harmless, the chemical irritating it
(E) attempt to metabolize, or render harmless, the chemical irritant
explanation:
The –ing form of a verb can be used as a noun (e.g., Running is her favorite sport.), but it is often awkward, particularly when used with a possessive, as in this case. Substituting the noun attempt for the gerund trying eliminates the problem. While chemical that is irritating it and chemical irritating it are both grammatically correct, they are excessively wordy.
A Trying is awkward, especially as the object of organ ism’s
B Trying that it metabolize is ungrammatical
C Attempt to try is redundant
D Attempt to try and is redundant
E Correct. In this sentence, the noun attempt replaces the gerund trying as the object of organism’s.
The correct answer is E.
My question is, is there more way apart from above ex when Gerund is tested in GMAT?
