Explanation for the question posted earlier.
Recent indications of weakness in the economy have led consumers to be more conservative with their purchases; so depressed have sales figures been as a result that the government has launched several initiatives to actively encourage consumer spending .
(a)so depressed have sales figures been as a result that
so.............that ----> idiomatic usage.
But hold for a second,let us see how the other options fare.
(b) the sales figures have been so depressed as a result that
misplaced modifier.
"as a result" should modify "the sales figures". But is is not happening. Look at sample below.
"....weakness in econmy have led consumers to be more conservative with their purchases; as a result, the sales figures have depressed....... "
(c) as a result, so depressed has the sales been that
"has" is the culprit here. should be "have" because "sales" is plural
(d) the resulting sales figures having been so depressed that
"having" is the culprit.
(e) the sales figures have been so depressed that, as a result,
misplaced modifier.
Elimination rest of the choices left us with only A. Thus the answer.
Any question/suggestion is welcome. 😃
Parallelism is of course there but I think the error does not lies there, error is in underlined part.
I think this sentence needs subject clarification means what the subject has decided, and therefore,phrase following "decided" is a restrictive phrase which should be precede by a relative pronoun "that" which is a case in (A). Hence correct
Hope it helps !

Hi guys..i have a clarification...pls see the below line:
"Forget, for a moment, whether marginal rates are too high or too low."
my doubt is...when we go with the parallelism....should there be an extra "are" in the above sentence ("or are too low")?
If not, can someone please explain the reasoning.
Maybe i am getting confused here, but i really need to clear it.
thanks!!

Let us disect the options one by one.
(A) they estimate that, in comparison to last year, when only 36 percent of the nations 607 HMOs was profitable, this year 73 percent will be
there is no antecedent available for they. "Interstudy" should be refered by "it". Thus eliminate the option.
(B) compared to only 36 percent of the nations 607 HMOs being profitable last year, they estimate 73 percent would be this year
eliminated---same reasoning as above
(C) only 36 percent of the nations 607 HMOs were profitable last year; it estimates that this year 73 percent will be
everything is fine here . thus the answer
(D) it estimates 73 percent of the nations 607 HMOs would be profitable this year; last year that was only 36 percent
According to Interstudy it estimates is not a correct construction. Thus eliminate this choice also.
(E) only 36 percent of the nations 607 HMOs last year were profitable, whereas they estimate it this year to be 73 percent
same culprit again. eliminate it .
Thus the answer according to me is (C). Please post the OA.

The pronoun which introduces phrases that modify things.
Will audience be considered a thing ?
