Chesapeake Bay "area" would be wrong unless its a proper noun.
This will rule out options 1 and 5. I will go with 4
OA is option 1
OA is option 1

The given sentence is correct as written. "The residents of" a certain place is the proper idiom. It is also correct to refer to the residents living in the "area" of the Chesapeake Bay, rather than in the Bay itself.
(A) CORRECT. The original sentence is correct as written.
(B) This answer incorrectly implies that the residents are living "in" the Bay itself as well as the area surrounding the Bay. (Note that if we were talking about residents with houseboats or the like, they would be living "on" the Bay, not "in" it.)
(C) This answer implies that the residents reside only in or on the Bay itself rather than near it or around the Bay area; though there may be some residents living on boats, the meaning of the original sentence indicates it was not intended to be limited to those living in or on the Bay. In addition, logic dictates that the residents cannot live "in" the Bay.
(D) "Around the vicinity of" is both redundant and the incorrect idiom; to live in the "vicinity" of a landmark already includes the area "around" that landmark. The correct idiom is "in the vicinity of."
(E) "Living in and around the Chesapeake Bay area" is redundant; living "in" a particular "area" implies living "around" that same area.
I didn't get this explanation. Can anyone elucidate
With explanations pls...
Because he had not experienced any symptoms until adulthood and was affected by facial paralysis early on in the course of his illness, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, whose death was originally attributed to complications arising from polio, may actually have suffered from symptoms related to Guillain-Barre syndrome.
(A) Because he had not experienced any symptoms until adulthood and was affected by facial paralysis early on in the course of his illness
(B) Since he has experienced his symptoms in adulthood and has been affected by facial paralysis early on in the course of his illness

(D) Because he had not experienced any symptoms until adulthood, he had been affected by facial paralysis early on in the course of his illness
(E) Since he did not experience any symptoms until adulthood and had been affected by facial paralysis early on in the course of his illness
My Take is E

My take in Bold.
Since is used to denote a duration of time.
Since its move to CBT in 2009, CAT has gone downhill.
Because is used to provide a reason.
Because of their inability to adapt to CBT, students from XYZ college have fared poorly in CAT.
Leaves us with A and D.
D says Because he had not experienced any symptoms until adulthood, he had been affected by facial paralysis
It means that not experiencing any symptoms has caused the facial paralysis.
A is concise and clear.

Hi EducationAisle,
How do u distinguish between both of them.. I mean 'since' and 'because' ??
Not sure if this is correct. Would be curious to know if you read it in some official source.
In this specific question, from Tense perspective, only A and D (which use Past Perfect) make sense.

Got this reply from Stacey Koprince, a GMAT instructor.
"Yes, we often use "since" and "because" almost interchangeably nowadays. And, yes, this is wrong on the GMAT.
As you noted, "since" is specifically used as an indication of time. "Since 1996, the Internet has grown from X users to Y users."
"Because she was hungry, she ate all the pie."
It's not okay to say "Since she was hungry..." (at least, not on the GMAT). So if you see a split between "since" and "because" and it appears that they could both work, use "because." (You probably wouldn't make the mistake in the other direction - "Because 1996, the Internet has grown...")"
And from another GMAt Instructor
"1: since to express timing - this is when it should be followed by present perfect tense:
Since the launch of new website, we have seen rapid increase in the subscriptions.
2: Since to express reasoning - this is when there is no restriction on the verb tense.
Since he does not follow a balanced diet, even extensive exercise program does not help in weight reduction.
So you need to understand the intended meaning of the sentence to see whether "since" is used to express timing related meaning or reasoning and then use the rules governing verb tense accordingly.
In the light of above, ask yourself - what is the usage of "since" in the sentence in question. "
Alright, now I am a little confused.
I feel it should be last option.. supposedly.!!

I would go with 4.
But, I am not sure if this is the kind of question that would be tested on the GMAT.
1) Appears that the Travel Agency reached London.
2)When London was reached (Passive without any rhyme or reason).
3) ^^^^
4)Least incorrect.
5.Ref 2 and 3.
What is the OA?

1. gives the interpretation that travel agency reached London
2. not grammatically correct
3. use of passive voice in the first clause and active voice in the second, grammatically incorrect
4. clearly interprets who reached London
5. passive voice, unnecessarily wordy
would need to check the usage of 'upon'
Education Aisle...any help here would be appreciated...Thanks
