My take

option B
'as infrequently as' and ' as often as' are to be used in the sentence.

my take
option (B)

does not end with 'like'.E is wrong,due to improper commas.as daily looks wrong.B looks correct.

Re: Sentence Correction for CAT 2008 - 07-01-2009, 07:32 AM

Crack this...

In 1985 the city’s Fine Arts Museum sold 30,000 single-entry tickets. In 1986 the city’s Folk Arts and Interior Design museums opened, and these three museums together sold over 80,000 such tickets that year. These museums were worth the cost, since more than twice as many citizens are now enjoying the arts. Which of the following, if true, most seriously weak- ens the author’s assertion that more than twice as many citizens are now enjoying the arts?


(A) Most visitors to one museum also visit the other two.

(B) The cost of building the museums will not be covered by revenues generated by the sale of
museum tickets.

(C) As the two new museums become better known, even more citizens will visit them.

(D) The city’s Fine Arts Museum did not experience a decrease in single-entry tickets sold in 1986.

(E) Fewer museum entry tickets were sold in 1986 than the museum planners had hoped to sell

(A) Most visitors to one museum also visit the other two.
Option A coz if the same people visiting the other two museums accounts for the increase in sale of tickets , more than twice as many citizens are not enjoying the arts.

(A) Most visitors to one museum also visit the other two.
The number of tickets sold earlier were 30,000. Now, the combined total of tickets sold by all three museums is 80,000. If a visitor to one museum buys the tickets for other two museums as well, then its the same set of people who are visiting these three museums rather than an increase in number of people enjoying art.

We have to choose a sentence that states that it is impractical to study a tornado by observing it from within as it is very small.
B,c state that it is practical. 'so small as to' is not correct . Furthermore , 'impractical to study' is the correct phrase rather than 'impractical of study'.
