because the people who are explaining the rules are custom officers and not travellers.... the sentence, in the given format, means that the travellers explain the rules patiently!!

hope i am clear

Re: Sentence Correction for CAT 2007 - 15-08-2007, 02:08 AM

my answers:
c
c
d
d
b
e
e
c
a
b

that makes it 7/10--

some observations and questions---
  • when should we think of changing the verb form...case in point q2...(to halt and to reverse...)why would option 'c' be wrong...can someone point out the exact logic behind this...
  • i made the same choice (c) for q1 and q2--i thot, in q1, 'resulting' would be better than 'that would result'...where did i go wrong...anyone plz, point out...
  • in q9--paramad--did u miss out the 'the' in most of the options coz else it becomes a no brainer...
-------------------------------------------

puys...hoping for some gyaan...

Ok this comes in late...:(

Ans for set 3:

1-a
2-a
3-d
4-d
5-e
6-e
7-e
8-c
9-a
10-b


I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
