1. Following the nutrition boards advice on salt consumption would mean a virtual end of the use of salt in cooking, an avoidance of obviously salty foods, and reducing the reliance on processed foods that contain significant amounts of often hidden sodium.
(A) reducing the reliance on processed foods that contain significant amounts of often hidden sodium
(B) reducing the reliance on processed foods containing often hidden but significant amounts of sodium
(C) a reduction of the reliance on processed foods, containing as they do often hidden sodium in significant amounts
(D) a reduced reliance on the significant amounts of hidden sodium often contained in processed foods.
(E) a reduced reliance on processed foods that contain significant but often hidden amounts of sodium
C is the only option that sounds parallel but its structure at the end is Odd.
what say guys???what could be the ans?

I Say E...wats the OA
E is right ans.....but i dint find it parallel...please explain
1. For many travelers, charter vacations often turn out to cost considerably more than they originally seemed.
(A) they originally seemed
(B) they originally seem to
A or B.....IMO its B...what say?
(A) they originally seemed
(B) they originally seem to
A or B.....IMO its B...what say?
silverlineinsky SaysE is right ans.....but i dint find it parallel...please explain
Reducing does not sound right here coz following a report can't result in reducing reliance coz redusing specifies gradual reduction but it can cause reduced reliance at the point of time so A & B are out C is too wordy & not at all balanced D is out as it talks abt reliance on hidden sodiums hence we are left with only option E
1. For many travelers, charter vacations often turn out to cost considerably more than they originally seemed.
(A) they originally seemed
I Say A coz the sentence is talking abt a scenario once the vacation has been done
1. Following the nutrition boards advice on salt consumption would mean a virtual end of the use of salt in cooking, an avoidance of obviously salty foods, and reducing the reliance on processed foods that contain significant amounts of often hidden sodium.
(A) reducing the reliance on processed foods that contain significant amounts of often hidden sodium
(B) reducing the reliance on processed foods containing often hidden but significant amounts of sodium
(C) a reduction of the reliance on processed foods, containing as they do often hidden sodium in significant amounts
(D) a reduced reliance on the significant amounts of hidden sodium often contained in processed foods.
(E) a reduced reliance on processed foods that contain significant but often hidden amounts of sodium
C is the only option that sounds parallel but its structure at the end is Odd.
what say guys???what could be the ans?
IMO E.
Option C is wordy and awkward.
Option D changes the meaning of the sentence (that we rely on the amounts of hidden sodium, whereas we rely on the processed food that contain sodium)
For this q,
1. Following the nutrition board's advice on salt consumption would mean a virtual end of the use of salt in cooking, an avoidance of obviously salty foods, and reducing the reliance on processed foods that contain significant amounts of often hidden sodium.
(A) reducing the reliance on processed foods that contain significant amounts of often hidden sodium
(B) reducing the reliance on processed foods containing often hidden but significant amounts of sodium
(C) a reduction of the reliance on processed foods, containing as they do often hidden sodium in significant amounts
(D) a reduced reliance on the significant amounts of hidden sodium often contained in processed foods.
(E) a reduced reliance on processed foods that contain significant but often hidden amounts of sodium
Following Nutrition board's advice will result in
an avoidance of salty foods (x) & a reduction of ...(y).
Since x is complex gerund,y should also be complex gerund.So of all the choiced only C starts with complex gerund.But "they" ( in option C) is unnecessary & slighlty lengthy too.
E is precise when it comes to latter part (significant but oftern.....)but verb form "reduced" is not parallel with other one.
According to me both E & C contain errors!.

In good years, the patchwork of green fields that surround the San Joaquin Valley town bustles with farm workers, many of them in the area just for the season.
(A) surround the San Joaquin Valley town bustles with farm workers, many of them
(B) surrounds the San Joaquin Valley town bustles with farm workers, many of whom are
(C) surround the San Joaquin Valley town bustles with farm workers, many of who are
(D) surround the San Joaquin Valley town bustle with farm workers, many of which
(E) surrounds the San Joaquin Valley town bustles with farm workers, many are
guys, m confused a bit...plz clarify my 2 doubts??
1) generally its said that, "that" refers to its preciding noun so here "that" refers to green fields or patchwork??
2)the given ans is (A), but if u look at the last part..." many of them in the area just for the season." contains no verb and seems like it requires verb???
3) if the subject is patchwork then the verb "surround" should be singular and it should be "surrounds"
Pls clarify???????
Well, let me give a try:
1) yes, "that" refers to the preceding noun, but remember "of" is jst a middleman. you need to read the sentence taking off the middleman.And that makes "patchwork" the subject of the sentence.
2) i doubt if the OA is A. The subject here is "patchwork" and thus a singular verb is required. "surrounds". Looks OA to be "B"
3) Subject is "patchwork" and not "green fields".
Cheers

IMO the answer is (E)
The parallelism is ensured by 'an avoidance' and 'a reduced reliance'
For this q,
1. Following the nutrition boards advice on salt consumption would mean a virtual end of the use of salt in cooking, an avoidance of obviously salty foods, and reducing the reliance on processed foods that contain significant amounts of often hidden sodium.
(A) reducing the reliance on processed foods that contain significant amounts of often hidden sodium
(B) reducing the reliance on processed foods containing often hidden but significant amounts of sodium

(D) a reduced reliance on the significant amounts of hidden sodium often contained in processed foods.
(E) a reduced reliance on processed foods that contain significant but often hidden amounts of sodium
Following Nutrition board's advice will result in

According to me both E & C contain errors!.
His campaign for sanitary conditions in operating rooms finally successful, Sir Joseph Lister lent his name to the company that developed Listerine, the first antibacterial liquid.
One of the questions in kaplan sample test. None of the options seems correct. 😞
- His campaign for sanitary conditions in operating rooms finally successful
- Since his campaign for sanitary conditions in operating rooms had been eventually successful
- Because of the eventual success of his campaigning for sanitary conditions in operating rooms
- His campaign for sanitary conditions in operating rooms being eventually successful
- Campaigning, eventually successfully, for conditions to be sanitary in operating rooms

IMO its B)
Event x (campaign for....) occured prior to event y (lending his name ).X & Y occured in the past. Lent is in past tense so the first part should have past perfect (had been ....).
Please do mention the OA for this.

OA is 1.
The reasoning is that causation is not implied in the question. Even I do not agree with the answer. Hence, this post. Can someone provide a beter explanation for the OA?
Qn from OG10:
Defense attorneys have occasionally argued that their clients' misconduct stemmed from a reaction to
something ingested, but in attributing criminal or delinquent behavior to some food allergy, the perpetrators
are in effect told that they are not responsible for their actions.
(A) in attributing criminal or delinquent behavior to some food allergy
(B) if criminal or delinquent behavior is attributed to an allergy to some food
(C) in attributing behavior that is criminal or delinquent to an allergy to some food
(D) if some food allergy is attributed as the cause of criminal or delinquent behavior
(E) in attributing a food allergy as the cause of criminal or delinquent behavior

Well for me the choice was between 1 & 5 as nobody will lend his name to product just becoz a campaign has been successful its generally the ppl who it affects the most who give the Name to the product or rather the name already exists.
Even if we were to believe that the name was given due to successful campagning the sentence would have been "After his campaign....." which also sounds absurd to me.
I would choose 5 because it gives a logical meaning & also looks grammatical..just my viepoint whats the OA
OA is 1.

My Take!!!!!!!!!
Qn from OG10:

(A) in attributing criminal or delinquent behavior to some food allergy
(B) if criminal or delinquent behavior is attributed to an allergy to some food
(C) in attributing behavior that is criminal or delinquent to an allergy to some food
(D) if some food allergy is attributed as the cause of criminal or delinquent behavior
(E) in attributing a food allergy as the cause of criminal or delinquent behavior
C is just a wordy variation of the original sentence. It can be eliminated first.
D and E use the structure "attribute as a cause". It seems redundant. Attribution implies causation. Eliminate these
We are left with A and B. For B, we need to take hint from the phrase "in affect" in the given sentence. This serves as the conditional and "if" is redundant. We are now left with the option A. Is it the OA?
1. A common disability in test pilots is hearing impairment, a consequence of sitting too close to large jet engines for long periods of time.
(A) a consequence of sitting too close to large jet engines for long periods of time
(B) a consequence from sitting for long periods of time too near to large jet engines
(C) a consequence which resulted from sitting too close to large jet engines for long periods of time
(D) damaged from sitting too near to large jet engines for long periods of time
(E) damaged because they sat too close to large jet engines for long periods of time
my guess is option (A).
Please help me if i am overlooking somthing
