  1. OA is B this Q was recently discussed here http://www.www.urch.com/forums/showthread.php?t=25147
  2. 4. it doesn't matter whether Y is singular or plural-the subjunctive always requires that the verb be in its base form so: I require that he do this I require that they do that
  3. Both of the above are gramatically correct. in 1 the verb after B is ellipted; since the word that is ellipted is understood or implied from the context there is no problem. Note that this is gramatically correct in general, I am not sure whether it is considered correct in GMATLand.
  4. those refer to novels on GMAT it is not ok to compare novels to feminism, at least not in this particular case
  5. A, B, and C have faulty comparisons D needs article in front of novels
  6. A tries to use not only...but also, but is missing also
  7. This sentence has two independent clauses joined together by a coordinating conjunction and. Recently implemented "shift-work equations" based on studies of the human sleep cycle have reduced sickness, sleeping on the job, [and ]fatigue among shift workers, Since we're enumerating things in this first clause we need and after the comma of the last one. The second clause has its subject ellipted and [Recently implemented "shift-work equations" based on studies of the human sleep cycle] have raised production efficiency in various industries In short A have reduced x, y, and z, and have raised w. since none of the choices have the above construction A have reduced x, y, and z while raising w.
  8. Why do you think you cannot have two and's in the same sentence. There is absolutely no problem with that. The sentence that you have given above is gramatically correct.
  9. The answer must be C after reduced there is a list of 3 nominatives and we need and in front of the last one it is tempting to choose have reduced...and have raised, but have reduced...while raising is also correct and conveys the same meaning - two things were accomplished at the same time
  10. IMO this is modification/idiom question the correct idiomatic usage of depict is: 1.depict sb/sth as sb/sth 2.depict sb/sth doing sth this rules out B & E D incorrectly uses conditional C has a misplaced modifier - in films... seems to modify the preceding noun phrase So, I vote for A
  11. The first task [noun phrase] is to formulate [infinitive phrase] infinitive phrases can act as nouns so parallelism is maintained
  12. A subordinate clause is introduced with a subordinating conjunction, and since because is a subordinating conjunction the clause starting with it is a subordinating clause. If you separate them into sentences the clause starting with because cannot stand on its own.
  13. the problem is that 2c2 covers the probability that exactly 2 cards will be blue, but does not include the cases in which one card will be blue. The correct solution would be 1 - [p(both blue)+p(one blue and one non-blue)]/total # of combinations
  14. This Q has been discussed before http://www.wikigrammar.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=577 http://www.www.urch.com/forums/showthread.php?t=12875&highlight=flying+reptile
  15. you may find this helpful http://www.bartleby.com/64/C001/061.html
  16. To me in C which seems to modify proton-induced x-ray emission thus changing the meaning of the sentence. In A which modifies the whole noun phrase a technique called proton-induced x-ray emission but in C technique is too far away.
  17. The way it is now, with the semicolon, D is not gramatically correct because after semicolon we need a clause with its own subject and verb. The colon does not require a clause after it and in this case would make the last part of the sentence modifier for the secret. Also IMO the verb discover is not well suited for continuous tense. Usually you just discover something, it is a relatively short action.
  18. because it sounds like Lincoln was discovered
  19. For this one D would be correct but the semicolon needs to be changed to a colon. None of the other choices conveys the correct meaning because they use the continuous tense. E has a wrong modifier.
  20. This will give you a general idea http://www.worldwidewords.org/articles/which.htm
  21. is little changed describes what the status is now, but to be little changed now, something must have happened in the past. That is exactly what C says - what happened in the past - the status has changed and how it is changed. However C is much more succint than all the other choices, which also have a number of other problems.
