Hi Navin and cognizant,
The plural point was already clear, on that basis, i drop B,D
Now coming to ur point, i again try to understand the question, first i wanna thank u navin to correct me...its cow not the farmers who provided...
and i think now i can explain, where u r goin wrong as per my understanding
no offense...okay
see the second phrase "providing them with high-energy feed, and milking them regularly"...acting as a modifier for "Holstein cows"..okay i agree..but in that
case this modifier is wrong...as per my knowledge of modifiers...the noun they modify should come immediately after the modifying phrase...and to know what
should be the noun...place "who" before the modifying phrase...so if u put who in front of the phrase "who providing them..bla bla.???" the ans is farmer not the cow...it means this is a wrong modifying phrase used to modify cows...so A,B goes wrong here...but if u ask "who provided with " the ans is cow...not the farmer...in op C "who provided with " ok but who milked them not okay again...D plural issue already dropped so we left with E...
keep ur thoughts coming...this was a tough Q...nd i took this Q from the Q bank of Sandeep Gupta...he scored perfect 800 in 2008 and runs a coaching in bangalore...he is a master blaster man..although m in jaipur and i nvr get a chance to join his coaching classes
For the farmer who takes care to keep them cool,providing them with high-energy feed, and milking them regularly, Holstein cows are producing an average of 2,275 gallons of milk each per year.
A. providing them with high-energy feed, and milking them regularly, Holstein cows are producing
B. providing them with high-energy feed, and milked regularly, the Holstein cow produces
C. provided with high-energy feed, and milking them regularly, Holstein cows are producing
D. provided with high-energy feed, and milked regularly, the Holstein cow produces
E. provided with high-energy feed, and milked regularly, Holstein cows will produce
my take is in bold!!
what's wrond with option A..? please explain..
what's wrond with option A..? please explain..
please c the post written above ur post...its related to the same question u r talking about...
Cajuns speak a dialect brought to southern Louisiana by the four thousand Acadians who migrated there in 1755; their language is basically seventeenth-century French to which has been added English, Spanish and Italian words.
(A) to which has been added English, Spanish and Italian words
(B) added to which is English, Spanish, and Italian words
(C) to which English, Spanish, and Italian words have been added
(D) with English, Spanish, and Italian words having been added to it
(E) and, in addition, English, Spanish, and Italian words are added
This is a quantity error. Multiple languages "have" been added to the syllabus. French "has" been added to the syllabus.
Ans: C
Today's grammar gyan
iii) By using a Prepositional Phrase
The animals in the zoo is hungry.
In this sentence, the subject is the plural animals, so the verb must be the plural are and not the singular is. Remember, in a prepositional phrase, the subject is always before the preposition and NOT after it.
The correct sentence will read,
The animals in the zoo are hungry.
Not necessary that a Prep phrase will always tail a Subject. Look below:
"Of the seven sins, Sloth is the deadliest! " is a perfectly valid construction.
"Behind the swamp lies the rotting old graveyard." is another valid sentence.
During the summer of 2008, the Outer Banks suffered a massive toad infestation, discouraging many vacationers from visiting the area.
A. suffered a massive toad infestation, discouraging
B. suffered from a massive toad infestation and discouraged
C. suffered a massive infestation of toads, which discouraged
D. was suffering a massive infestation of toads and discouraging
E. had suffered from a massive infestation of toads and this discouraged
Discuss the SC and please answer with the underlying grammatical principles involved.
Ans should be (A) i think, because...
the Q describes a cause and effect sequence....
cause:-- the Outer Banks suffered a massive toad infestation
effect:-- discouraging many vacationers from visiting the area.
in these cases effect shld be reflected with the use of -ing form...or u can also say the two events are not mutually exclusive
to make the sentence logically parallel -ing form shld be used...
Wats the OA?????
I am with A. In C I think 'which' refers to 'toads' so should be incorrect.
Irrelevant.

B. suffered from a massive toad infestation and discouraged
C. suffered a massive infestation of toads, which discouraged
D. was suffering a massive infestation of toads and discouraging
E. had suffered from a massive infestation of toads and this discouraged
Discuss the SC and please answer with the underlying grammatical principles involved.
OA: C
Solution:
A: This is a ambiguous because we can picture the question in two ways. Massive could qualify either the toad or the infestation itself which is not very clear from option A. Hence A is not suitable.
B: Ditto as A.
C: This option is clearer in terms of the noun qualified by 'massive' which is infestation. Plus it sounds better than A.
D: Is correct in terrms of the qualifier but it appears that the Noun "Outer Banks" is discouraging the public from visiting which is clearly not the case.
E: Ditto as A and B, hence incorrect.

(E) to pay as much for jobs historically held by women as for a job demanding comparable skills
Ans: C
Solution:
A. 'that' is a co-ordinating conjunction and the construction "of both public and private employers that pay be the same for jobs " which has a prepositional phrase( of) followed by a conjunction followed by the object of the dependent clause just doesn't sound right. Grammatically I am unable to pin-point the error though
...B. 'job' (singular) in the dependent clause cannot be compared to jobs (plural).
C. best option according to me althouugh the use of 'in' instead of 'for' looks out of place.
D. erroneous comparison, from the statement it is not clear what is being compared.
E. jobs and job getting compared again.
Not sure about this one. OA pls.

Jobs compared to a job
(C) to pay the same in jobs historically held by women as in jobs of comparable skill that are
most appropiate

incorrect use of whether
