Hi Ajay - Data as such will always be singular. I would never say "data are available on the internet", instead, it normally goes as "Data is available"....."Data is flowing", "data is segregated", "Data is in abundance"....The original sentence has no anomaly.
Thanks

hi nikhil....
it seems my sentence was not properly framed...what i meant was "data" is plural in the sense that it refers to a collection of information....similar to how "group" refers to a collection of people but "group" is always referred to as a singular noun...similarly, "data" refers to a collection but it is singular in itself...i hope u hv got my point now!!!
Got it Ajay - sorry for misunderstanding... 😃

A,C,D - the latter half of the sentence contains "such companies", hence, the first half of the sentence must have a reference to the companies, which is missing in A,C,D
E - "of" is missing after "Because"
the only option left is B...
previous ans was B
heres the next one
As rare as something becomes, be it a baseball card or a musical recording or a postage stamp, the more avidly it is sought by collectors.
(A) As rare as something becomes, be it
(B) As rare as something becomes, whether it is
(C) As something becomes rarer and rarer, like
(D) The rarer something becomes, like
(E) The rarer something becomes, whether it is
????
Hi PUYS! .. this is my take..
the statement needs to start with a comparative. hence A B & C are wrong.
D & E start properly, but D uses 'like' which i feel, modifies the sentence in an unintended way...
so E is right? :s
Answer id D.
Explaination - Parallelism. "The rarer something becomes......the more......"
Moreover, Whether is used with 2 options. In this case there are 3 so "Like" is more appropriate

(A) As rare as something becomes, be it
(B) As rare as something becomes, whether it is
(C) As something becomes rarer and rarer, like
(D) The rarer something becomes, like
(E) The rarer something becomes, whether it is
????
A,B,C - the sentence begins with "as rare as...."
as ___ as is primarily used in comparision cases eg. as good as, as rare as 1880 champagne, etc... while the entire sentence aims to convey the meaning that "as things start getting rarer, their value increases"...
D - "like" is incorrect cuz u are providing a generic example, not an example specific to the topic (eg. there are many things other than baseball cards that can get rarer)
hence, correct answer is E....
Can some one help me with this question, with an explanation!!!
According to Henry David Thoreau, the reason a majority is allowed to rule is not that it is more likely to be right, but because it is stronger.
(A) the reason a majority is allowed to rule is not that it is more likely to be right, but because it is stronger
(B) a majority is allowed to rule not because it is more likely to be right, but because it is stronger
(C) the reason for majority rule is not because they are more likely to be right, they are stronger
(D) the majority is allowed to rule because of its strength, not because it is more likely to be rightďźˆB
(E) the reason why the majority rules is that it is strong, not because it is likely to be right

(E) the reason why the majority rules is that it is strong, not because it is likely to be right
The answer is B.
C - a conjunction is missing.( I believe u need "but because")
D and E - the second half of the sentence doesnt go with the first half..
I dont know the right grammatical rule that explains this thing.
between A and B , I think B is a better option as it uses Because
The ans for previous is E
here the next one
As the price of gasoline rises, which makes substituting alcohol distilled from cereal grain attractive, the prices of bread and livestock feed are sure to increase.
(A) which makes substituting alcohol distilled from cereal grain attractive
(B) which makes substituting the distillation of alcohol from cereal grain attractive
(C) which makes distilling alcohol from cereal grain an attractive substitute
(D) making an attractive substitution of alcohol distilled from cereal grain
(E) making alcohol distilled from cereal grain an attractive substitute
?????
A, B and C are wrong because which has no clear antecedent.
Between D and E I prefer E because E is similar to the original.
Which is the correct one in your text?

A,B,C - the sentence intends to convey the sense that as xyz occurs, influencing factors of abc, pqr will happen......notice the tense...as ________, verb-ing,_____will happen
going by this logic, A,B,C are wrong...
D - it is too long and beats round the bush...
hence, the correct answer is E....
Answer id D.
Explaination - Parallelism. "The rarer something becomes......the more......"
Moreover, Whether is used with 2 options. In this case there are 3 so "Like" is more appropriate
using "like" here will be wrong...
like is used for comparison...there is no comparison here...
Hey
I am confused for a sentence :

-Can anyone tell me wats the concept involved for subject verb argument here....i mean wat wil be the correct form with a reason...

"A majority of railway commuters reads or listens to music while travelling...."
In this sentence the subject is "A majority of railway commuters" which is plural since it means many individual part of the railway commuters put together. The verb should be in agreement with subject, which is plural. So reads and listens is used.
I just learned this concept from manhattan SC guide. If you can go through it it will be more clear I guess.
A, B and C are wrong because which has no clear antecedent.
Between D and E I prefer E because E is similar to the original.
Which is the correct one in your text?
the ans is E
can u please elaborate more on the "no clear antecedent."
will be helpful to understand
thanx
