I would go with C.. I think Spidey notes explains this... It is idiomatic to use "until the supply last"...
OA Plzz..

C,D out coz "until the supply last" is just wrong...should be "continue until the supply is finished" or s'thing like that
B-AOK...parallel tense, correct idiom " as long as "


darn quant!

[pal.26]

i hope that the answer to this question is c...
let me know if m wrong...

[pal.26]

even i hope the same answer.....it should be E to try to repair.....n yes they are parallel verbs coz....they r placed side by side ...in a way related to each other and not that....emphasis is more on....repairing.....

C. team, Joan and I, Alice and Judy.
D. team, I, Joan, Judy, and Alice.
E. team, and they are Joan, Judy, Alice and me.

Since 1st person has the least preference and should come at the end C&D are knocked off.
Since sentence is in objective case it should be me and not I. Hence B is also out.
A. implies that relay team,Joan,Judy,Alice and me was chosen by the coach while the sentence should imply that the relay team consists of four persons which is rightly said in E.

Dirt roads may evoke the bucolic simplicity of another century, but financially strained townships point out
that dirt roads cost twice as much as maintaining paved roads.

(B) dirt roads cost twice as much to maintain as paved roads do
(C) maintaining dirt roads costs twice as much as paved roads do
(D) maintaining dirt roads costs twice as much as it does for paved roads

Hi Rohit,
My choice is Option-B. Here none other option supports parallelism, with clear cut meaning and sentence formation.

(A) dirt roads cost twice as much as maintaining paved roads(meaning is distorted)
(B) dirt roads cost twice as much to maintain as paved roads do
(C) maintaining dirt roads costs twice as much as paved roads do(use of maintaining is distorting the sentence formation)
(D) maintaining dirt roads costs twice as much as it does for paved roads (use of maintaining is distorting the sentence formation)
(E) to maintain dirt roads costs twice as much as for paved roads ("that to maintain" word goes against the meaning of sentence, clear violation)
