I think it should be: I called you on your landline and your mobile.
hey, thanks for replying
But shouldn't it be :
I called you on your landline and on your mobile ??
I have checked it in the manhattan SC book & it mentions one example for parallelism in the case of prepositional phrases .It goes like this ....
It was important to leave the money in the drawer RATHER THAN on the table ........
It also mentions that if some verbs or forms derived from verbs have more than one word , then we can split apart these expressions so that the first word or words count across all the elements. And the example which i was getting confused about, doesn't have verb forms but preposition ( ON) . So can prepositions be also counted across all the elements.

Over 75 % of the energy produced in France derives from nuclear power, while in Germany it is just over 33% a. b. compared to Germany, which uses just over 3% c. whereas nuclear power accounts for just over 33% of the energy produced in Germany d. whereas just over 33% of the energy comes from nuclear power in Germany e. compared with the energy from nuclear power in Germany, where it is just over 33%
OA is C. "the energy" does not identify which energy - the prob is fixed in option C
Sachin, When two words or phrases are used in parallel and require the same preposition to be idiomatically correct, the preposition does not have to be used twice. You can wear that outfit in summer and (in not required) winter. The female was both attracted (by not required) and distracted by the male's dance. However, when the idiomatic use of phrases calls for different prepositions, we must be careful not to omit one of them. The children were interested in and disgusted by the movie. It was clear that this player could both contribute to and learn from every game he played. He was fascinated by and enamored of this beguiling woman. I read the above rules in some forum(don't remember the name although) Hope this answers your query as well Cheers

1.Originally published in 1950, Some Tame Gazelle was Barbara Pyms first novel, but it does not read like an apprentice work.

Heyyy
Yup it surely helped :p
Great.I APPRECIATE UR HELP... One more thing..So now I know that Prepositions and verbs ( or verb forms like -> ...........to give , take and throw.) can be counted across all the elements .Are there any other forms which can be counted across all the elements , that I need to keep in mind.
1.Originally published in 1950, Some Tame Gazelle was Barbara Pyms first novel, but it does not read like an apprentice work. (A) does not read like an apprentice work (B) seems not to read as an apprentice work (C) does not seem to read as an apprentice work would (D) does not read like an apprentice work does (E) reads unlike an apprentice work
Heyy guys I have one query ..There's onctually its the first Se question from OG-12 .AC question in there.It goes like this:
1. The Glass House Mountains in Queensland, Australia, were sighted in 1770 by the English navigator Captain James Cook, by whom they were named supposedly because its sheer wet rocks glistened like glass. (A) by whom they were named supposedly because its (B) by whom they were named supposedly and their (C) naming them supposedly since their (D) who so named them supposedly because their (E) who so named it since supposedly their
In wrong options explanations - For Option C , it states that :
As the object of a preposition and not the subject of the clause, James Cook does not work as the noun that the verbal phrase beginning with naming can describe
I can't get it ..Can someone help me with this explanation , pls...

When an action taken place in two parts of a sentence, it is mentioned in both the clauses. My brother has done and is still doing excellent work for his organisation.------> correct My brother has and is still doing excellent work for his organisation.------> in-correct

Here the comparison is between two nouns i.e. Novel and apprentice work, not between action; so I feel does is not required, this can be proved by usage of like also, which is used to compare two nouns.

Thanks...:p
Naming act as a participle and it not necessary that it modify the nearest noun, although it modifies the complete phrase. So this sentence will be read as Glass house mountains are named....So the subject of this sentence will be Glass house mountains NOT James Cook. HTH !

If we dig into more detail, then "Some Tame Gazelle was Barbara Pyms first novel, but itdoes not read like an apprentice work. " The first noun referred is the novel ("it") and the verb associated with it is "does". Similarly for the second noun " apprentice work", the verb seems to be missing. Seems to be confusing, @kapur, could you post the explanation from the source referred here.

Let me try to add some explanation about the usage of LIKE.
Like must be followed by nouns , pronouns or noun phrases. Never put a clause after "like". Clause contains working verb.
So going to choice D, i can see that like is followed by a clause "does not read like an apprentice work does". Working verb considered here is "does" (in itallics). This is not allowed in GMAT. Thus the choice A , which compares the nouns is correct choice.
If we want to compare two clauses, we have to use "As".

This question is from 1000SC and there are no explanations available

I think Magic is correct here......I also remember having read the same concept on the MGMAT forum. But I have one query.......if we replace "LIKE" with "AS" in option (D), does it becomes a stronger contender than option (A)???

Subject is plural here so A,B,C are out
Between D & E. I'll go with D as E is wordy moreover significant is not right here we need significantly to modify the verb reduced, reduced must be used as verb; usage of reduction is also faulty.
