To develop more accurate population forecasts, demographers have to know a great deal more than now about the social and economic determinants of fertility. A. have to know a great deal more than now about the social and economic B. have to know a great deal more than they do now about the social and economical C. would have to know a great deal more than they do now about the social and economical D. would have to know a great deal more than they do now about the social and economic E. would have to know a great deal more than now about the social and economical answer is E but Actually C looks good to me.
firstly usage of economical is incorrect, that eliminates B,C,E
in A and D, it is more logical to have D, since the tense used is correct.
The correct answer can only be D. Cause we are talking about social and economic determinants of fertility. Economical means cheap. Economical does not mean "pertain to economy" as we intend to say here. that is why options B,C and E are straight eliminated. And A is not formed correctly. Hence Answer is D.

E is the answer .. this question has been discussed before.
Also, not posting the answers would be much appreciated. After a few have given it a shot, you can post the OA. This was ppl can also check if their knowledge is sufficient to answer the question or not. If you provide the answer with the question, then you are not giving others a chance to have a shot at the question.

Hi Sid,
It's alright. OA in certain books are wrong at times. so don't cling to OA so much. We need to use some come sense at times also.

It's like- the study...provided the evidence that supports....and that impacted.... The issue over here is Parallelism. I don't go with the OA over here. Give the OA's explanation.

Hi Neha,
below is the explanantion but i still feel C should be the correct one.Whats your take?
A is not correct because the "that" at the end makes the "meteorite impact" refer to "contributed".it is not what the sentence meant to say. what it meant to say is: that "global forest fires ignited by a meteorite impact" contributed to......??? The theory is about how global forest fires caused by...were responsible for dinosaur extinction. The author is using 'clay deposits that were found' as an evidence to support the theory.
The 'theory is not of global forests' so choices A, C are out. 'Evidence of support' is un-idiomatic. so choice E is out. D is out as the sentences joins two sentences using 'AND' as though they are independent. However, one thing caused the other and hence the usage of 'AND' here is inappropriate.
I did this ques few days back. don't rememebr the answer. but i think it is E/D. What's the answer ?

Thanks for searching so much. The explanation does make sense. but i'm not sure. will re-check and will let you know in 2-3 days.

Sish-in Says
OA is E,but whats wrong with D
The problem is I don't remember where i did this ques last time so can't get the exact explanation. jitna i remember and using the sentences will try to explain-
what we intend to say is - the decrease is the lowest level in the two years and not the other way round that is why E and not D. D suggests that the decrease is to the two year which is at low level ! which changes the meaning.
Hope this helps. i'll try to search where i did the ques and will post the answer then.
1. According to the professors philosophy, the antidote to envy is ones own work, always ones own work: not thinking about it, not assessing it, but simply doing it.
