@padfoot thanks a ton for such a lucid explanation

added my comments ...alongwith padfoot's

22. A recent national study of the public schools shows that there are now one microcomputer for every thirty-two pupils, four times as many than there were four years ago.
(C) there is now one microcomputer for every thirty-two pupils, four times as many as there were
C) -> Idiom for “As many As” rather than “As many than”
also singular and plural mismatching...(there are one microcomputer)

Set 5:- - 03-09-2007, 07:29 PM

Here goes my next set:-

1.The closing of small, inexpensive hospitals while large expensive hospitals remain open seems a luxury that we can no longer afford in order to maintain them.
  1. seems to emphasize luxury over economy, which we can no longer afford.
  2. seems to be a waste of valuable resources.
  3. seems a luxury we can no longer afford.
  4. seems too luxurious to be any longer affordable.
2.The ancient question of the exact difference between plants and animals, which was so complicated with the discovery of microscopic members of both groups, was somewhat sidestepped with the establishment of a third phylum, the Protista, reserved just for them
  1. consisting only of them
  2. inhabited only by them
  3. which includes all microscopic life
  4. which would have included all microscopic plants and animals
3.The Lake Manyara Park in Tanzania affords the visitor with unequalled opportunities to photograph lions playing in trees without the aid of telephoto lenses.
  1. The Lake Manyara Park in Tanzania permits the visitor unequalled opportunities to photograph lions playing in trees without the aid of telephoto lenses.
  2. The Lake Manyara -Park in Tanzania gives the visitor the unequalled opportunity to photograph lions playing in trees without telephoto lenses.
  3. The visitor to the Lake Manyara Park in Tanzania has the unequalled opportunity to photograph lions playing in trees without the aid of telephoto lenses.
  4. Even without the aid of telephoto lenses, the visitor to Tanzania's Lake Manyara Park has an unequalled opportunity to photograph lions playing in trees.
Best of luk.

Re: Sentence Correction for CAT 2007 - 04-09-2007, 11:21 AM

I got a doubt...
What is the difference between the usage of "supposed" and "supposedly" ??

Eg :
Carbon-14 dating reveals that the megalithic monuments in Brittany are nearly 2,000 years as old as any of their supposed Mediterranean predecessors.
