ramviswa SaysCan you post your explanation for the 2nd answer?
HI here is my approach for the question above:
The answer shud begin with " about" as the speech is being given abt sumthng. So option b and c is eliminated.Option D is also eliminated ans nowhere it is stated that nobody will be allowed to leave unless enuf is done.
So now a and e remain.in option A "would" is used , if we consider the structure of the sentence as a whole we can see that " can " is more appropriate .So option E. hope this answers yuor querry.

i second anirudha.
It shud be E.
as many as are(people) enroled in .
A,B equivalent is wrong usage.
C. shud have been .. 'equal to the number enrolled in'.
D is awkward.. as if the number is compared to nation's 4-year colleges.

no of people must be compared to
no of people' not just the number. (it has to be clear that number in the second part is also referring to people enrolled in college....not number of college or something like that)
so it has to be as many as those enrolled in but E doesn't have those, so C is the best.
E option is the best choice of all 5, because 'as many as are in' correctly modifies 8 million people.
HI vikas,
(C) equal to those who are enrolled in
Dont you think something is wrong in 'those who are enrolled', which shud have been ..'equal to those enrolled'.
Please expln.

what say u all..
Note that singular form has been used for the org so that leaves options C & D. Now if we straighten the sentence, it'll become : "According to Interstudy, only 36 percent........" and so C is the correct answer
soniek,
I am still not convinced about the answer for Q 46..If we straigten the sentence with "C", it becomes.. "According to Interstudy, they estimate that, in comparison to last year, only 36 percent of the nation's 607 HMO's were profitable last year; it estimates that this year 73 percent will be..".. the semicolon starts a new phrase....but no object.....
If we phrase the sentence again with "E"..it becomes....
"According to Interstudy, they estimate that, in comparison to last year, only 36 percent of the nation's 607 HMO's last year were profitable, whereas they estimate it this year to be 73 percent"..here the pronoun it brings in the object for this phrase..
please do put down u'r justification.
regarding Q 45..u r right..we need to check the words to be followed after modelled..to match the correct one.
thanks for u'r quick reply..
@ aniruddha: In Q.46, Interstudy is a single organisation so we can't use the pronoun "they". "It" will be the correct pronoun for Interstudy so options A,B & E get eliminated. I hope this clarifies your doubts.
