Hi Mitzi, Thanks for the quick response.. B can deifnitely be removed..In B, a greater proportion of what??? C mentions that clearly.. my confusion is: In "a greater proportion than they have been " does they refers to costs or proportion?? Can you please help me with the 1st one?

Soaring television costs accounted for more than half the spending in the presidential campaign of 1992, a greater proportion than it was in any previous election. a greater proportion than it was a greater proportion than a greater proportion than they have been which is greater than was so which is greater than it has been The 32 species that make up the dolphin family are closely related to whales and in fact include the animal known as the killer whale, which can grow to be 30 feet long and is famous for its aggressive hunting pods. include the animal known as the killer whale, which can grow to be 30 feet long and is include the animal known as the killer whale, growing as big as 30 feet long and include the animal known as the killer whale, growing up to 30 feet long and being include the animal known as the killer whale, which can grow as big as 30 feet long and is include the animal known as the killer whale, which can grow to be 30 feet long and it isOA later..

'A' is correct I believe. (A) reduced the amount of phosphates that municipalities had been allowed to dump Here past perfect(had) has been used to signify an action that was competed prior to another action that took place in the past. had been allowed refers to the amount of phosphates before the reduction. The sequence of action is as follows: Amount of phosphate allowed ---> Reduction ---> New amount of phosphate allowed. EF, can you please justify why 'D' is correct?

It's actually the Elliptical path that brings the asteroid back toward earth...What the sentence tries to convey is that suppose had it been a circular path then the relative distance between the asteroid and the earth would always remain the same..but now as the path is elliptical there are times when the asteroid is closer to the earth than at other times..so it's the elliptical geometry of the path, what brings the asteroid toward he earth..

IMO C.. C.) or as a warning to predators, as in the case of insects bearing a combination of yellow and black, which often signals that they are poisonous serve as camouflage or as a warning are parallel... Also when compared to D, warning to predator is more appropriate than predator's warning. bearing a combination of yellow and black is also more appropriate than that are colored yellow and black..that are colored yellow and black signifies that the insects are colored by someone and is not their natural color. What's the OA please?

IMO C.. The growth of the railroads led to the abolition of local times, which was determined by when the sun reached the observer’s meridian and differing from city to city, and to the establishment of regional times. (A) which was determined by when the sun reached the observer’s meridian and differing-- Since the clause after comma modifies local times, the verb should be plural(were)..Subject verb disagreement (B) which was determined by when the sun reached the observer’s meridian and which differed-- Same as A (D) determined by when the sun reached the observer’s meridian and differed -- which is required before the start of 2nd clause else the second clause will modify the 'growth' instead of local times (E) determined by when the sun reached the observer’s meridian and differing-- same as D I believe that C is the right answer..

Precision should be followed by "in". you have "precision in doing something". precision to do something seems awkward..Plz correct me if I am wrong
