C, A and D ?? wt are the ans ??
*arch* SaysYes, the OA is (D). What's wrong with Option (C)?
arch... not sure the exact reason. However D is sounds far better, C reads awkward. There is no need of "that" as the action has been started, you can directly link it to the result.
*arch* SaysYes, the OA is (D). What's wrong with Option (C)?
"allow X to be Y" is more idiomatic than
"allow that X be Y"

1.A

3.D
wat r the OAs?
My pick would be B
'less' is better than 'lower' because we are using quantifiable numbers here...1 % is easily countable and thus we wouldnt use lower.
The tense and tone of the sentence makes amounted wrong. We are talking in present continous tense here in the sentence.
What is the OA?
Answer should be C.
As 'amounts to ' does not agree with subject 'costs' A,B are out.
lower than ,lower sum than sounds awkward.so D,E are out.
Hey.. can someone plz help me with these questions? Thanks a lot! =]

1.
both clauses are negatives of the form neither...nor...
the Sunnites do not await... is similar in meaning to neither do the Sunnites wait...
hence nor should be used.
2.
This is a comparison problem,
in 1, 2, 3 and 4 country, farmers and rains are being compared to each other.
In 5 alone, areas (United States and parts of Sri Lanka) are being compared.
3.
In A, B, D and E, transplant is being compared with patients.
C removes the issue by entering a subordinate clause.
1. A . Neither X nor Y is an idiom but " nor " can be used without neither as in the given sentence
2. This sentence has comparison problem. It is illogically comparing united states to rains in srilanks. All the sentences but for E has comparison problems.
3. Even this sentence has comparison problem. It illogically compares transplants to all patients. Only C removes the comparison problem.
