Friends, Following is the OA of a SC Question :- Unlike those in the United States, Japanese unions appear reluctant to organize lower-paid workers. However, I am unable to accept this. My concern - "those" in the sentence comes before what it describes (unions). Is such type of sentence construction correct in GMAT Rulebook? I am confused. Pls guide.

I think the tense seems a problem in (E). 'Were' and 'has begun'. Also it incorporates 'and now' part.
I would go for (B).
('Which' correctly refers to 'ceiling fans', Initially thought otherwise)

the correct answer should be B. E can be eliminated because of tense error and awkwardness.

According to me the underlined part is awkward.. and it needs to be corrected... so B sounds a much better option. Also the sentence starts with VERY POPULAR.... which is corrected in B

Hi All, For all those who want Aristotle SC Grail and other material from AristotlePrep(around 4-5 ebooks), wouldnt it be a good idea to form a group and then each group member buys one of the ebook and then we can share the total expenditure among all the group members and share the material.After all all the material on Aristotle is in soft copy form and we can easily share it in emails I dont think this will be a violation of copy rights because we are buying the book from site and then sharing among friends. absolutely not making money by reselling it in market. What do u think guys? All those who are interested please reply so we can go ahead with this idea.
