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'.

well said .. OA is A , A indeed

Indian Airlines's signing of the Rs 2,000 crore deal with Airbus instead of Boeing caused a furore following the crash of an A-320 airliner.

Now does the above sentence mean :

1) The deal happened first followed by the crash or,
2) The crash happened first and still the deal took place and caused a furore.

====================================

i think the sentence only implies that the furore over the deal was due to the crash of A-320 ...wihtout trying to say anything about the chronology....but if asked, i would think the deal happened first...if it was the other way round, the sentence should be:

"Indian Airlines's signing of the Rs 2,000 crore deal with Airbus instead of Boeing, following the crash of an A-320 airliner, caused a furore."

Moreover, according to new figures released by the labor department, there were many more people employed in Alameda in the manufacturing industry in 1990 than in 1979.

(C) It is difficult to evaluate numerically what impact on job security the introduction of microelectronics in the workplace had before 1979.
