Thanks
To me, B seems apt.
-why "do/does" is incorrect, "why some litigants" is correct, so only B & D remain -when we are comparing, we need to compare plural-plural, that is why B seems correct. (B) compares "some litigants" to "others", both plural, whereas, (D) compares "some litigants" to "another" , Incorrect, IMO

Why is C wrong here?
I eliminated C on the grounds of multiple antecedants for the pronoun "it". Experts, pleasse advice is that was a correct approach. I have had this problem of identifying the correct antecedent for a pronoun if there are more than one of them in the statement. Can someone also suggest whats the catch here. Even complex would be a situation when there are more than one antecedents and more than one pronoun. How do i know which pronouns refers which antecedent?

IMO, do and does will be best used when you like to second an argument without repeating the same. I guess when we speak , we do use (as i just did) the word do unnecessarily. Please note that I could have just said, we use the word do unnecessarily.(without the do). Experts, Please correct me if there is a valid scenario when we should use 'do'.
Also, This questions brought a thought in my mind. In this case, we would simply choose 'between' as the eliminator as we are comparing two entities, rich and poor. My doubt is whether there is a scenario when we should use among rich and poor considering the fact that there could be many rich and many poor people??

E should be correct answer. because "in its paying" looks awkward..

Among is being used uncorrectly, it is better to use between when talk is of two. My take is in bold.

Will go with D Reasons: -Parallel structure -"more quickly" needs to be close to "spread", not "flames" (Modifier)
Can any one plz provide me the link for Aristotle S C Grail and Manhattan sentence correction book or any PDF link for download. :). I need it urgently. I am not getting it in market.

IMO D is the correct answer. E is awkwardly worded - causing spreading

You can buy the aristotle SC grail from its website. I am not sure about MGMAT SC if it is available as pdf.
Have you tried e-GMAT for SC. You should give it a shot. I found it much more interesting to learn from the video lessons here than from reading a book. Now if you are looking for revision only, then Aristotle SC will be good too!! It has a decent list of idioms...

Aristotle SC is good. I just started using e-GMAT (their free trial).
A fire in an enclosed space burns with the aid of reflected radiation that preheats the fuel, making ignition much easier and flames spreading more quickly. (A) flames spreading (B) flame spreads (C) flames are caused to spread (D) causing flames to spread (E) causing spreading of the flames
IMO D is the correct answer. E is awkwardly worded - causing spreading
IMO D. D indicates object for causing...causing x to y.
Asset allocators create portfolios, often in the form of of mutual funds, with the intention to turn in good results in both bull and bear markets. (A) with the intention (B) the intention of which is (C) intended (D) and intending (E) so intended as

I have a doubt pertaining to OG12 Q#46 In ancient Thailand, much of the local artisans creative energy was expended for the creation of Buddha images and when they constructed and decorated the temples that enshrined them. A. much of the local artisans creative energy was expended for the creation of Buddha images and when they constructed and decorated the temples that enshrined them B. much of the local artisans creative energy was expended on the creation of Buddha images and on construction and decoration of the temples in which they were enshrined C. much of the local artisans creative energy was expended on the creation of Buddha images as well as constructing and decoration of the temples in which they were enshrined D. creating images of Buddha accounted for much of the local artisans creative energy, and also constructing and decorating the temples enshrining them E. the creating of Buddha images accounted for much of the local artisans creative energy as well as construction and decoration of the temples that enshrined them
OA:B
In choice B, I am confused about pronoun reference. Isn't "they" ambiguous? Can they not refer to both temples and images?
Asset allocators create portfolios, often in the form of of mutual funds, with the intention to turn in good results in both bull and bear markets. (A) with the intention (B) the intention of which is (C) intended (D) and intending (E) so intended as
OA = C My questions 1: What does "with the intention" in A modify 2: "intended..." in C modifies portfolios and wrongly suggests that "portfolios intended" - so why is C correct. Please help.
In choice A, "with the intention" modifies portfolios. Notice how "often in the form..." provides additional information for portfolios. This is just a descriptor and hence the comma pair is used to insert that in the sentence. So essentially the sentence is : Asset allocators create portfolios, often in the form of of mutual funds, with the intention to turn in good results in both bull and bear markets.
This placement of "with the intention..." makes it ambiguous in terms of what it modifies. Since it is placed next to portfolios, it may modify portfolios implying that portfolios have the intention of turning in good results. This is non-sensical. Now such "with modifiers" can also modify the action in the preceding clause. Thus, if this modifier were to modify the action, then it would imply that asset allocators create portfolios as asset allocators have the intention of turning in profits. Now this meaning is correct and logical.
Choice A is ambiguous since it is not clear what it actually means. Does it imply illogically that portfolios have the intention (if the modifier modifies portfolios) or does it imply logically that asset allocators have the intention (if the modifier modifies asset allocators and their actions).
Now Choice C (the correct choice) clarifies this meaning. It implies that portfolios were intended to turn in good results. Remember "intended" is the verb-ed modifier. It is not the verb for portfolios. And since it is verb-ed modifier, it is in passive voice. So the appropriate translation is: portfolios ARE INTENDED to turn in good results.
