OA : D.
Can you tell your justification for "A".
I think the answer is B.
what's the OA?

OA : D.
Can you tell your justification for "A".
A,B,C--Incorrect-lacking independent clause--in other words the independent clause is lacking the primary verb (the science of economics)
E--Incorrect--use of past tense is wrong--we need to use present prefect tense here
hope this helps!
I think the answer is B.

Yep OA is B. Could you provide the explanation. As ,much less remember looks bit awkward

Whenever 'so' comes in a sentence, it must be followed by 'that' in the sentence.this is the idiomatic usage. and also just reading this sentence you can tell that 'that' is necessary in this sentence.
read-...led the nation through decades of change so profound many young Americans are not able to imagine...
don't you think, that after profound, something is missing to tell the effect of change...?
the missing gap is filled by using 'that'
we use 'that' when we want to give some information that is critical for correct meaning of the sentence.
Now using this, we are left with options B and E. and both use- much less remember. i know this is bit awkward, even i thought ummm ok but out of all options, only B makes sense. and in E- "of such profoundity" is more awkward.
Remember, Most indians rely on their ear for SC. Which is the wrong way to go about it. What we speak in India is vastly different from what is written in "business america" so really, you should never rely on "does-this-sound-right-to-me" and instead focus on "What-does-the-rule-say" and work it out.
Hope this clears the doubt.

Any comments on this ?

Present Perfect Tense is used to indicate:
- an action happened in the past but has certain applicablility to the present.
- an action that began in the past but continous in the present.
- an action that completed in the immediate past.
Hope this clears your doubt.
Friends I hv 2 doubts ...

2) Several Ans choices require to make you a choice between .. To make/ for making, to attack/ for attacking ... is there any rule we should apply here ?

1) Diff bet IF & WHETHER ...
2) Several Ans choices require to make you a choice between .. To make/ for making, to attack/ for attacking ... is there any rule we should apply here ?
Whether is used to introduce first of two or more alternatives. Whether is preferred if future possibility is stated
e.g I do not know whether I will go to the office. -- Correct
I do not know if I will go to the office. -- InCorrect
Hope it clears yours doubt.
IIM_Pune Says2) Several Ans choices require to make you a choice between .. To make/ for making, to attack/ for attacking ... is there any rule we should apply here ?
Whehter and if is explained by Nitin.
I'll try to clear your other doubt:
TO make is: infinitve and making is: gerund
both infinitive and gerund are indicates-verb+noun ro verbal noun. that means it works as a noun and verb both.
now where to use which one, does depend on rules which i remember and use are:
1) Both gerunds and infinitives can be used as the subject or the complement of a sentence.
e.g-
Teach me to swim.
Teach me swimming.
2) As the object of a sentence, it is more difficult to choose between a gerund or an infinitive. In such situations, gerunds and infinitives are not normally interchangeable. Usually, the main verb in the sentence determines whether you use a gerund or an infinitive.
Examples:
- He enjoys swimming. "Enjoy" requires a gerund.
- He wants to swim. "Want" requires an infinitive.
Intentionally i ddin't paste anything from the above link. cause it's better if you go through the link, everything is explained very systematically. followed by excersises to know how much you understood.
Hope it clears your doubt.
Enjoy.
