Please help me with this...please give reasoning while rejecting the choices: 1.A star will compress itself into a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole after it passes through a red giant stage, depending on mass. (A) A star will compress itself into a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole after it passes through a red giant stage, depending on mass. (B) After passing through a red giant stage, depending on its mass, a star will compress itself into a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole. (C) After passing through a red giant stage, a stars mass will determine if it compresses itself into a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole. (D) Mass determines whether a star, after passing through the red giant stage, will compress itself into a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole. (E) The mass of a star, after passing through the red giant stage, will determine whether it compresses itself into a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole.

My take wud b option D. A, B ,C are out cause red giant stage is a specific stage that has 2 b passed.article 'the'is used wen ur being specific.that rules out A,B,C. In option E it refers to the mass of the star and not the star.

(A) & (B) "depending on mass" is modifying "red giant stage" and not the star. Hence (A) & (B) are out. (C) The tense has not been maintained. (E) The star should be the subject and not the mass.
My take wud b option D. A, B ,C are out cause red giant stage is a specific stage that has 2 b passed.article 'the'is used wen ur being specific.that rules out A,B,C. In option E it refers to the mass of the star and not the star.
Hi guys, I have a doubt in the sentence below: I havent visited London, and I probably never will visit London. I want to know what exactly is wrong with this sentence and what is the correction? Thanks.

As far as i know the visit London in the second part is redundant here. it can b reframed like I haven't visited london, and probably never will.

Dolly... Think in terms of GMAT English rules and grammar. The sentence you have mentioned might be correct in general usage. But if you look at it from a GMAT perspective, it is a clear case of redundancy.

I think the answer is D.
In options B & E, 'they face' is ambiguous. It is not clear as to who is facing the problems. Option C suggests that there are many questions and this is the only question that is irrelevant. This is not mentioned in the original sentance.
option A: 'In assessing the problems' is not idiomatic

(B) "they" at the end of the sentence is ambiguous. (C) & (E) are very wordy.
Now we are left with (A) and (D). Almost nothing seems wrong with both of these. Here we should think of two rules: 1. Active voice is preferred over passive voice. 2. If it sounds correct it almost always is.
(D) wins (A) with regard to these two rules. Hence (D).
hey guys,please help me with this.please provide reasoning while rejecting the choices. 1.According to a survey of graduating medical students conducted by the Association of American Medical Colleges, minority graduates are nearly four times more likely than are other graduates in planning to practice in socioeconomically deprived areas. (A) minority graduates are nearly four times more likely than are other graduates in planning to practice (B) minority graduates are nearly four times more likely than other graduates who plan on practicing (C) minority graduates are nearly four times as likely as other graduates to plan on practicing (D) it is nearly four times more likely that minority graduates rather than other graduates will plan to practice (E) it is nearly four times as likely for minority graduates than other graduates to plan to practice

(A) "...in planning to practice.." is not idiomatic. (B) "are nearly four time..." followed by "...who plan on practicing.." seems incorrect. (D) and (E) are too wordy.
The answer is (C) as the word "more" is not needed. "four times as likely as" is the correct usage.
i think the answer is E a. are.. makes the sentence awkward c.it is a omparison of likelihood hence i feel use of comparative is more appropriate and also the verb at the end should be an infinitive d. changes the meaning b.still no infinitive e. remaining, and seeming most appropriate

In addition to (E) being wordy, another reason for rejecting it is that the correct idiom is "as likely ...... as" and not "as likely....than".
(A) "...in planning to practice.." is not idiomatic. (B) "are nearly four time..." followed by "...who plan on practicing.." seems incorrect. (D) and (E) are too wordy.
The answer is (C) as the word "more" is not needed. "four times as likely as" is the correct usage.
Yes C is correct...I am really impressed by the accuracy with which you hit sentence correction!can you please tell me when to use 'as likely as' and when to use 'more likely....than'
now try this simple 1...
1.According to a recent study, the elderly in the United States are four times more likely to give regular financial aid to their children as to receive it from them. (A) the elderly in the United States are four times more likely to give regular financial aid to their children as (B) the elderly in the United States are four times as likely to give regular financial aid to their children as it is for them (C) the elderly in the United States are four times more likely to give regular financial aid to their children than (D) it is four times more likely for the elderly in the United States to give regular financial aid to their children than they are (E) it is four times as likely that the elderly in the United States will give their children regular financial aid as they are

(A) is wrong since "more likely...as" is incorrect. (B) is wrong as the words are getting repeated. "them" two times becomes ambiguous. (D) & (E) are out since the ending "they are to receive..." sounds very awkward.
The answer is (C).
From what I observe in the two questions which you yourself gave right now that we use "as likely as" while comparing nouns while we use "more likely than" while comparing actions. However, I cant say this for sure. All I do is eliminate options. GMAT requires you to select the best one among the given options. Elimination helps in this.

i concur with my frnd alien.the ans shud b C A cannot b the ans as it shud b 'as likely as'which is missing. B the sentence formation is awkard with 2 them D,E the use of it is redundant.
And sorry for the delay in posting the ans for the ques i had asked.the ans is D.i had marked C.cud anybody tell me as 2 y c is wrong.

I have already answered your question GD.
(B) "they" at the end of the sentence is ambiguous. (C) & (E) are very wordy.
Now we are left with (A) and (D). Almost nothing seems wrong with both of these. Here we should think of two rules: 1. Active voice is preferred over passive voice. 2. If it sounds correct it almost always is.
(D) wins (A) with regard to these two rules. Hence (D).
