A huge flying reptile that died out with the dinosaurs some 65 million years ago, the Quetzalcoatlus had a wingspan of 36 feet, believed to be the largest flying creature the world has ever seen.
(A) believed to be
(B) and that is believed to be
(C) and it is believed to have been
(D) which was, it is believed,

Firstly reptile is a living thing so it shud b used to refer to it so B(which uses that ) , D and E ( D n E use which ) are ruled it.
A results in a run on sentence there shud b a conjunction or smthg to connect the two parts of the sentence.Hence ur left with C .
Also the last part of the sentence uses the participle form "has seen" so to maintain parallelism the earliesr part shud aslo participle form of the verb " have been ".
I hope its clear nw .

Hi,

raj
yes....because u are implying that xyz is a part of a collection of large no. of objects, .... after which you go on to describe something abt the "collection" which implies that the same thing also applies to xyz....
hope u understood the complex language!!!

1) attributing X to Y or attribute X to Y is the correct idiom.
A. participle attributing acts as a modifier and should not logically modify perpetrators as it sounds perpetrators are attributing
B. a conditional is correctly introduced and the sentence has no error
C.Same as A
D.Violates idiom -- attribute X to Y
E.Violates idiom
My answer is B (I think I have seen this in OG11)
2) require to-- to pay pension-- X and Y where X and Y should be parallel
A. passive construction that the info is not parallel to pay
B. that X and that Y looks correct
C.use of being is awkward
D.information cannot modify --earned by employees
E.to pay and publish would have been correct
I think the answer is B

Hi Shiva,
your answer to ques 1 is correct...thanks for the explaination dude
However, the OA for ques 2 is (D)..
Hi Shiva,
your answer to ques 1 is correct...thanks for the explaination dude
However, the OA for ques 2 is (D).. :sad:
Hmmm I checked again. I think even B is not correct
since from initial sentence it looks lie empoyers are required to report to government- whether X and Y, so X and Y has to be parallel
Here the first verb from is to pay so Y should say some thing to parallel pay, confused it for the common that X and that Y constructions in GMAT. Looking at D again it seems information refers to entire thing after whether and looks ok.
Ignore my previous explanation on B as the use of X and Y involves verb in Y should parallel the first main verb in X.I hope this helps
Hi Shiva,
your answer to ques 1 is correct...thanks for the explaination dude
However, the OA for ques 2 is (D).. :sad:
i beg to differ with u ..answer shud b B as correctly pointed by Shiva .
D obviously has an error of dangling modifier ...information cant modify employers ...
r u sure that the answer is D. Whats the source of this ques n what does the explaination in the source say

This question is from 1000SC and, unfortunately, explaination is not given in the document.
I have not found any wrong answer in 1000sc till now....what u have said is also correct..but, If the answer is indeed (D), we should also take note of these kinds of modifier problem...
any comment puys!!!

Regards to the following question
2. Corporations will soon be required to report to the government whether they have the necessary reserves to pay the pension benefits earned by their employees and that the information be published in annual reports to shareholders.
(A) earned by their employees and that the information be published
(B) that their employees earned and that the information be published
(C) that was earned by their employees with the information being published
(D) earned by their employees, information that must also be published
(E) earned by their employees and published the information
I think apart from whatever has been discussed, another basic things needs to be considered.
"the information" is wrong usage because there is no mention of any information in the part of the sentence before the word "information" itself. So it can't be preceded by "the".
Secondly, whether "they have..." requires a parallel sentence if any. I am saying so because information thing doesn't parallel with pension earned by employees. So it follows that "information" introduces a separate clause.
Moreover here "and" can't join the two sentences in a clear manner. It's a kind of weird sentence formation (used "ellipsis") but D fits the fill.
Well, I just made out all this explanation after knowing the right answer. Earlier I thought B is the right one 😃
Hi guys
crack this...I have 2 diff OA for this (though one if more reliable)
A 1972 agreement between Canada and the United States reduced the amount of
phosphates that municipalities had been allowed to dump into the Great Lakes.
(A) reduced the amount of phosphates that municipalities had been allowed to
dump
(B) reduced the phosphate amount that municipalities had been dumping
(C) reduces the phosphate amount municipalities have been allowed to dump
(D) reduced the amount of phosphates that municipalities are allowed to dump
(E) reduces the amount of phosphates allowed for dumping by municipalities

(C) reduces the phosphate amount municipalities have been allowed to dump
(D) reduced the amount of phosphates that municipalities are allowed to dump
(E) reduces the amount of phosphates allowed for dumping by municipalities
I believe that the answer is D.
It should be reduced, not reduces (C&E; out)
Had been is wrong as there isnt more than one event (A&B; out)
D uses the correct verg "are". They are not banned from dumping anymore.
Whats the OA ?

(C) reduces the phosphate amount municipalities have been allowed to dump
(D) reduced the amount of phosphates that municipalities are allowed to dump
(E) reduces the amount of phosphates allowed for dumping by municipalities
Ya i also think that the answer shud b D .
And i think the other OA ur talking abt is A coz the " reduction of the amount of phospahtes" itself is the second event which follows an already happening event i.e. "the amount the muncipilaties had been allowed to dump " before the reduction by the agreement. And both the events happened in the past . So the second event wud use the simple past and the first event past participle.
Am i right ?? Hope i hv not made a fool of myself in trying to get both the OAs.
