I am not sure but doesn't it make sense to post the source of questions as well?
....Well, I need to really wrack my head to get to an explanation....but i'll..really post explanation for these 2...
d2rockstar Saysfirst two are correct...post the explanations pls
I got both of these wrong in the first shot, but upon re-reading the answers, here is my understanding:
1) A - wrong comparisions - two times
- pay Vs blue-collar-workers
- blue-collar-workers Vs ratio
C, D, E - can be easily figured out to be wrong
- all wrong comparisions
B - all correct comparisions
The only thing which bothers me in B is "on average" -- should it not be "on an average"?
2) A - correct
B - growing as big as 30 feet long - wrong usage
C - this seems odd when read for the 2nd time:
- The 32 species ...., include ....killer whale, growing upto 30-feet-long ....
-- seems like growth of 32 species is being talked about
D -grow as big as 30 feet long - wrong usage
E - un-needed "it"
Please help with your comments.
