can someone please confirm the OA? SC 1000 has says OA is E. (#697 there)

was stuck between C and E C looks awkward E distorts the meaning - the original sentence says "are and will"; E says "likely to", bringing uncertainty thought awkwardness should be preferred to distortion in meaning and went for C any comments on this?

"result from"? should it not be "result of" here? Erin, can you please explain?

138. Senator Lasker has proposed legislation requiring that employers should retain all older workers indefinitely or show just cause for dismissal. (A) that employers should retain all older workers (B) that all older workers be retained by employers © the retaining by employers of all older workers (D) employers' retention of all older workers (E) employers to retain all older workers the part of the sentence following the underlined part shows that the underlined portion has to be in active voice and that "employer has to be the subject. All but A and E can be eliminated. A has redundancy of expression : required that..should E remains

1.Opened in 1683, the Ashmolean was the first public museum in Great Britain, while earlier the Bodleian has been the first truly public library. (A) while earlier the Bodleian has been (B) where the Bodleian earlier is © just as earlier the Bodleian had been (D) as the earlier Bodleian has been (E) the Bodleian earlier being "while" brings in an element of contrast. "where" refers to place. neither of these fits well with the meaning of the sentence. eliminate A,B "as been" doesnt go well with "was". eliminate D "being" makes the sentence awkward. eliminate E C remains

fainter to be followed by than. eliminate A,B look for what is being compared : sources ->plural. correct choice ill have "those"..eliminate C "detecting" makes E wrong..select D

there are only two things being compared..cannot use superlative..the correct way to refer to the object is "larger" and "smaller"..can reject A,B,D immediately. "the smaller" does not make for a great blend with the rest of the sentence..can reject c E remains

while D is grammatically correct, putting it into the sentence doesnt make for a meaningful sentence - although ppl can choose among those 3things, there are no slopes without music? where is the contrast that "although" should bring? can someone please explain?

@mitzi not sure if i totally agree with you "is expected to be" puts the sentence to passive voice..i dont see a problem there. however A implies probability of paper getting recycled and D refers to the quantity of paper that will be recycled. meaning of D makes more sense than that of A..ut as such I dont see much problem with A

a clear case of parallelism test and E wins..but does the sentence look gramatically correct with E? i felt "the predator" doesnt properly refer to wolves..if at all it refers to somerthing, it would be "the population of wolves"...all other choices have this problem (if it is one) as well. any comments?

when two entities share an attribute, it means both the entities have the same attribute. so, saying "share the same X" does not make sense. This mistake is seen in all the choices except C. @shreya.sharma "same X as Y" is not the idiom being tested here

D looks faulty with respect to parallelism...I totally agree with explanation given by check.stone and others in favor of E

I would vote for E

can someone explain why B is correct? B puts the whole sentence in past perfect..doesnt look like a correct construction

i understand it is quite an easy question. someone please elaborate on the usage of "during"
