Providing initial evidence that airports are a larger source of pollution than they were once believed to be, environmentalists in Chicago report that the total amount of pollutant emitted by vehicles at O'Hare international airport is twice as much as that which is being emitted annually by all motor vehicles in the Chicago metropolitan area. A) B) as much annually as is emitted by the C) as much compared to what is annually emitted by all D) that emitted annually by all E) that emitted annually compared to the
total amount of pollutant emitted by vehicles is twice that emitted by all. Answer is D. perfect parallelism. This kind of questions need real coolness on G-day to get them right the first time u read choices. otherwise if doesnt click at first, then creates a huge confusion and panic in turn. i got this wrong in my first GMATprep.
@MissionPGPX My gmat is tomorrow. any tips?? wat all do i need to carry and also how early shud i report to the center
WOW... i feel like my G-day. carry your passport and your appointment letter(optional). Hope you have already visited your test centre if not today is the best day for that. You should not report before 50 minutes of your scheduled time because u will have to wait outside if reached too early. That wait is terrible, full of thoughts and what not. So reach there about 50 min before then u can simply go through the procedure of palm scan and photo etc and start the test. i suggest u have a good night sleep of atleast 8 hrs. If test is in morning then have a healthy breakfast and whatever u are used to. If you feel like warming up before the game then play few loose balls and hit them through the fence for SC, CR and a passage for RC. and then go for the kill. You have already done your best possible work, let him show his part now. Most importantly enjoy the game, u have paid 250 for that... atleast vasool karke aana.
GOOD LUCK and no matter what happens have a few drinks (if u drink ) with friends and do let us know your experience.
PS: dont forget to carry most important of all things, your positive attitude!!

Thanks for pumping me up man.. hopefully this time tomorrow ill be happy while sharing my experience here
Please let me know the correct answer with explanation for below SC: According to some experts, carbon dioxide is accumulating in the atmosphere so rapidly, largely because of the burning of fossil fuels, that should the present rate of buildup continue, the global concentration of this poison will double by the end of the next century. (A) that should the present rate of buildup continue, the global concentration of this poison (B) should the present rate of buildup continue, the global concentration of this poison (C)should the present rate of buildup be continued, the global concentration of this poison (D) the global concentration of this poison, were the present rate of buildup continue, (E) that the global concentration of this poison, if the present rate of buildup did continue

IMO it's A. 'so x that y..' construction seems OK here.
"Exigencies are ( Iam using are ) undoubtedly plural, singular is exigency so A and D are out. A used "makes" and D used - "has". Subject - Verb agreement.
Now this is a tricky question fight is among B, C and E
I don't think past tense is required in this sentence as this will remain a fact, as shown by Shakespear' play and there is no mention of time during which these exigencies foreshorten the "dramatized....XYZ". Eliminate B
So between C and E I would choose C as E seems to change the meaning of original sentence.
What is OA
Hi Dare2 Although your OA is right i.e. "C" yet I want to pour a though here that option "E" does not change the meaning. Its just that Foreshorten is used as a verb in past tense. Keeping that in mind, we will ignore "E" otherewise it would have been the best choice. Hope I kept the track.

Regards,
No "foreshorten" is not used as a verb in past tense. Past tense of verb foreshorten is "foreshortened".
Foreshorten is a three syllable word - Fore + short+en = To reduce the length of; curtail or abridge
I have checked this before casting out my final choice.
u r bang on target.. deliberately modified option E to make it close to option C..
now try this..
The expected rise in the price of oil could be a serious impact to industrialized nations and severely diminish the possibility to have an economy free of inflation. (A) be a serious impact to industrialized nations and severely diminish the possibility to have (B) seriously impact on industrialized nations and severely impede the possibility to have (C) seriously impact on industrialized nations and severely impede the possibility of having (D) have a serious impact on industrialized nations and severely impede the possibility to have (E) have a serious impact on industrialized nations and severely diminish the possibility of having
Hi Dare2
My answer to this is "C".
What's the OA????
Not to mention, I could not comeback to this thread even after so much of enthusiam since naukri kills bosssss.....oopsss sucks

I am not positive about the usage of 'should' but I am not sure if you can create a subordinate clause which if you donot have 'that', it will modify the global concentration and will seem like we are starting a new statement after comma.

although the first glance gives a 'so ... that' construct, 'that' with a comma before it is almost always wrong in gmat.. also 'that' should be as close to the referrent as possible.. 'that' followed by should is also less preferable.. so option A and option E can be eliminated..
'should' refers obligation.. n it is not necessary that CO^2 is obliged to accumulate.. so i eliminated B and C..
hence i picked option D.. also 'were the present rate of buildup continue' is subjunctive and it fits well with the suggestion..
i am also doubtful abt the usage of subjunctive without 'that' but in this question it fits best..
if there is any flaw or grammatical error in my reasoning then plz let me know..
