  1. Only D and E are close. In E, by using 'each' we will subject-verb mismatch as 'broadcast' is plural. D.
  2. An advertisement designed to convince readers of the great durability of automobiles manufactured by the Deluxe Motor Car Company cites as evidence the fact that over half of all automobiles built by the company since 1970 are still on the road today, compared to no more than a third for any other manufacturer. Which of the following, if true, most strongly supports the advertisement’s argument? (A) After taking inflation into account, a new Deluxe automobile costs only slightly more than a new model did in 1970. (B) The number of automobiles built by Deluxe each year has not increased sharply since 1970. © Owners of Deluxe automobiles typically keep their cars well maintained. (D) Since 1970, Deluxe has made fewer changes in the automobiles it manufactures than other car companies have made in their automobiles. (E) Deluxe automobiles have been selling at relatively stable prices in recent years.

C. E, just makes penetration abilities of uranium a modifier.
  4. Only D and E are two of the better choices. D. In her home, Aho, , held fastivals that featured the preparation of great quantities of ceremonial food, the wearing of... E. Aho, , held festivals in her home that featured the preparation of great quantities of ceremonial food, the wearing of... E confuses the matter by appending details after 'home'. D is a better choice.
  5. Is SQRT[ (x - 3)^2 ] = 3 - x ? 1) x 3 [x not equal to 3] 2) -x|x| > 0
  6. while and at the same time are redundant. Agreed?

  8. C says 'relations between nations'? Its not a right choice guys!
  9. Industrialization and modern methods of insect control have improved the standard of living around the globe while at the same time they have introduced 10000 dangerous chemical pollutants, having gone virtually unregulated since they were developed more than 50 years ago. a) while at the same time they have introduced 10000 chemical pollutants ,having b) while at the same time introducing some 10000 dangerous chemical pollutants that have c) while they have introduced some 100000 dangerous chemical pollutants at the same time, which have d) but introducing some 10000 dangerous chemical pollutants at the same time that have e) but at the same time introducing some 100000 dangerous chemical pollutants, having
  10. Take few sets tests under strict timed condition and see how you do. If you don't improve much then my friend, I'm sorry you may want to move your test date in a date in future so that you have more time to prepare.
  11. A does not hold the intended meaning. use of 'that' helps make 'drivers' the subject of the rest of the sentence. So, E is a better choice.
  12. I actually thought C and E were better competitors. For C, the fragment after 'and' does not add anything new or something parallel to first part, it is just adds value. E.
  13. The domestication of camel was the key to the development of the spice trade. D.
  14. I agree that is confusing but do you think it would be wrong to use 'this predator' for wolves? I think they have used specifically because they could not use pronoun 'it' here.
  15. "extending from northern Ecuador through Peru to Souther Chile" is just a modifier adding more optional information to the sentence. Something that is optional and does not require for the sentence to be complete. 'extending' is a present participle that commonly used in this fashion to add value to the sentence.
  16. Agree with the E guys! You can't chisel a region.
  17. Dr. Sayre’s lecture recounted several little-known episodes in the relations between nations that illustrates what is wrong with alliances and treaties that do not have popular support. (A) relations between nations that illustrates (B) relation of one nation with another that illustrates © relations between nations that illustrate (D) relation of one nation with another and illustrate (E) relations of nations that illustrates
  18. Minnesota is the only one of the contiguous forty-eight states that still has a sizable wolf population, and where this predator remains the archenemy of cattle and sheep. (A) that still has a sizable wolf population, and where (B) that still has a sizable wolf population, where © that still has a sizable population of wolves, and where (D) where the population of wolves is still sizable; (E) where there is still a sizable population of wolves and where On a second thought I agree with CrazyGmatter! Problems with A, B and C - for the fragment after 'that' 'states' becomes the subject (not Minnesota). So, they all need 'have' instead of 'has' D has obvious problems E, though seems loaded, but nothing wrong with it.
  19. Hmm A or C? sizable wolf population VS sizable population of wolves. A sounds better to my ears!
  20. Based on recent box office receipts, the public's appetite for documentary films, like nonfiction books, seems to be on the rise A. like nonfiction books B. as nonfiction books C. as its interest in nonfiction books D. like their interest in nonfiction books E. like its interest in nonfiction books
  21. According to the National Science Foundation, in 2003 there were 198,113 female science and engineering graduate students, almost 42% of the graduate students in those fields, twice as much as 1981. A twice as much as 1981 B twice as many as 1981 C double the figure for 1981 D double what it was in 1981 E a number double that of 1981’s OA:
  22. B/D/E. all one has to do with cattle is them alone C. all one has to do with cattle is leave them alone I believe we need a infinitive (to leave) here not just a verb (leave). I understand C maintains parallelism but parallelism is more of a cosmetic issue not using infinitive or gerund where one is required may be more basic issue. Not sure! Any comments? and some of these OAs are wrong in 1000 documents or in sets.
  23. I understand its an ole thread... But wondering those who are/were picking D wonder why arent they considering B or E? Actuall E looks better than D.
  24. 'at the same time' needs to work to show that denouncing and supporting is happening at the same time. So, all the choices (B, C, E) that have at the same time at the end are actually changing the meaning a bit. So, left with A and D. A) they denounce the big government, , while at the same time supporting D) while they denounce big government, , at the same time supporting Not sure which one to pick? I guess stick with original in this case.
