will be soon posting my last SC spam 
Guyz just a small request :)
When you are posting your answers then kindly post a small analysis too. That would be more helpful,it'll also provide more information on the typical errors we make. Just a thought.... 
@kunal : congrats for 100% accuracy so far 😛 😛
Consider the following:
Wrong: If Abraham Lincoln were born in Livonia, he cannot become the President of the United States.
Right: If Abraham Lincoln had been born in Livonia, he could not have become the President of the United States.
According to me this question test Hypothetical Subjunctive mood. And the answer should be:
If Abraham Lincoln were born in Livonia, he could not become the President of the United States.
In the corrected sentence, why couldn't we have used were?
Could anyone please explain..
2nd one should be correct
becuase an event has happened in the past
The 2nd sentence correctly uses past perfect to refer to a past event (Lincoln's birth) that predates another past event (Lincoln's becoming/not becoming president).
u can use subjunctive mood like this
lemme quote 2 examples and u will understand
we can write like this(as per my undestanding) by bringing the thing in present..
1)If i were late, i could not watch the opening credits
but given abhraham lincol ancient nature u have to go with conditional perfect because that event never happend in past and we all know it. :)
A simple conditional statement..(if u are using "cannot")
2)If i am late, i cannot watch the opening credits..
Remember if past perfect then conditional perfect.. 😃
Someone Please help me on this.
Following are 3 correct sentences:
1. None of the students have done their homework.
2. None of you claim responsibility for this incident.
3. None of the luggage has reached us.
We used plural verb in first two sentences but singular verb in the last one.............WHY???????????
1-> students --> have correct ( "students" is a pural subject hence "have")
2-> As u know subject verb rule applies to all pronouns except "I" and "you"
SVO rule also does not apply to has-have when used as a "second" helping verb in a pair
eg.
The girl could have talked to me
The girls could have talked to me
both are correct
They do NOT apply to any other helping verbs, such as can, could, shall, should, may, might, will, would, must.
3-> "luggage" singular subject hence "has"
I hope it clears something.. 😃
I hope it continues whytodomba..
I also agree with you. everone is interested in giving answers. but no one comes up with explainations. trust me guys. on few occassions i choosed the wrong option but when I was writing the reasons.. i just figured out the right one...

(A) this is likely to result in
(B) that will cause
(C) and which is likely to result in
(D) this success is likely to result in
(E) it is likely to result with
B - Will shows certainity, whereas original sentence shows a likelihood..so I reject this..moreover cause seems incorrect here...
C - starts with a and after a ";", this may be wrong..
E - result with - i guess "result in" will be the idiomatic expression
that leaves me with A and D
would go with A
Can anyone please explain the usage of ";" and the implication in a sentence...
Even though Bla Bartks music has proved less popular than Igor Stravinskys and less influential than Arnold Schonbergs, it is no less important.

(C) Stravinskys is and less influential than Arnold Schonbergs is, it
(D) Stravinsky and not as influential as Arnold Schonberg, he
(E) Stravinsky and not as influential as Arnold Schonberg, it
Since music can only be compared to music...I will make the 2/3 split.. and reject D,E

The Engineer identified the problem, using the latest technology.

The Engineer identified the problem, using the latest technology.
Is the above sentence correct?..... Or Is the following sentence correct?

I believe both are gramatically correct, but considering GMAT which prefers active voice over passive voice, I would say the first one:grin:

(A) Stravinskys and less influential than Arnold Schonbergs, it
(B) Stravinskys and less influential than Arnold Schonbergs, he
(C) Stravinskys is and less influential than Arnold Schonbergs is, it
(D) Stravinsky and not as influential as Arnold Schonberg, he
(E) Stravinsky and not as influential as Arnold Schonberg, it
talks about music . so we require "it"
in contention A,C and E
u have to compare stravinsky's music and arnold's music..
hence A
Can anyone please explain the usage of ";" and the implication in a sentence...
a semicolon introduces two closely related independent sentences , and both of them should stand on their own. i.e they should have a subject and a verb
Since music can only be compared to music...I will make the 2/3 split.. and reject D,E
A seems to be the answer as C uses "is" which seems out of place..and B uses he , while we are discussing music ..
B & D used 'he' to refer music..... (So, Reject option B&D;)
The Pronoun 'It' can refer both music & Bla Bartk. But here it refers to music because the name 'Bla Bartk' is used in possessive form and is poor antecedent for the pronoun 'it'.
Option E compares music with a person..... (Reject E also)
Now we left with Option A and Option C
Reject Option 'C' for introducing the verb "is" after the noun which is in possessive form.
Answer: - Option A
