My response is A. No error is there. B - the use of 'that are open for ....' makes the use of 'there are' inevitable C - Although is missing, without it the sentence is not making sence D - the use of 'and' removes the contrary feeling that is required in the sentence E - wiered
the answer is D...there is no reason to use "Although" in this sentence....the fact that some museums cater to "local history or various ethnic groups" has nothing to do with the fact that some other museums are "open for exploration on summer weekends"....these 2 are just independent facts and should only be joined by a conjunction....out of the 3 options not using "Although", D is the least offensive...

16 - a ; Since choice is only between a and d i'll explain why a and not d. D uses "they" in construction. This "they" does not have a referent in that, it could either be walls and floors or it could be the ancient Romans.
17 d ; choice is between d and e. E uses "revealed" which i think should be "reveals"
18 d - No idea .. it just sounds right.
19. a - B and C are grammatically incorrect. D and E use "while" and do not give any other word to show contrast.
Could someone explain the following OG question to me.
160. While some propose to combat widespread illegal copying of computer programs by attempting to change people's attitudes toward pirating, others by suggesting reducing software prices to decrease the incentive for pirating, and still others by calling for the prosecution of those who copy software illegally. (A) by suggesting reducing software prices to decrease the incentive for pirating, and still others by calling (B) by suggesting the reduction of software prices to decrease the incentive for pirating, and still others call (C) suggest the reduction of software prices for decreasing the incentive for pirating, and still others call (D) suggest the reduction of software prices to decrease the incentive for pirating, and still others by calling (E) suggest reducing software prices to decrease the incentive for pirating, and still others are calling
here is OG's explanation Answer to Question Choice E, the best answer, uses constructions that are parallel to some propose', others suggest. . . , and still others are calling ....
How is "some propose, others suggest" .. parallel with "and still others are calling"? Shouldn't it be "and still others call"?
how to use "More" and "Most" in GMAT SC problems , what is the difference in them. for e.g
I decided that mine was the most efficient.

Hello Neha,
I think both are correct. It really depends on the context of the statement. If you are making comparison between two things than "more" is the better choice.
e.g I decided that mine was the more efficent than yours.
