but the answer seems to be A.. :(
distinct of .. is an idiom i guess... (correct me if am wrong).. can we use that over here ?.. am sure that being is almost always wrong because of awkward struture.. .. !
cud u kindly expatiate on this a bit ...i dint get what ur trying to say
Cooperative apartment houses have the peculiar distinction of being dwellings that must also operate as businesses.
(A) of being dwellings that must also operate as businesses
(B) of dwellings that must also operate like business
(C) that they are dwellings that must operate like business
(D) that, as dwellings, they must also operate like businesses
(E) to be a dwelling that must also operate as a business
As B C and E are ruled out for not making proper comparisons(action is compared with a noun)......but in option A and B . "opearate as business.." is the same .... so cant we go a head with option E.?.. by basing only on the idiom "peculiar to" (am not sure whether i can look out idiom in this manner) .
did u go thru my previous post in which i hv explained y i chose A as the answer.
Coming to ur query, i think " peculiar distinction to be " is extremely awkward ..plus E also has the parllelism error of dwellings (plural ) n business( singular).

Help needed for this question............
heard challenges----- the part after comma should say something about challenges
A.including among them ---is awkward and also not grammatically correct
B.use of which (refers to company here) makes one to think company included the threat.Illogical
C.included among is awkward
D.among them X and Y, where X and Y are parallel is the correct construction. the threat of a rival's parallels the decline in sales of the company's.
E.I think it has to threat of---infringement suit or threat from a rival. Also sales of company's not sales for company's
My answer is D

1. Neanderthals had a vocal tract that resembled those of the apes and so were probably without language, a shortcoming that may explain why they were supplanted by our own species.

(A) Neanderthals had a vocal tract that resembled those of the apes
(B) Neanderthals had a vocal tract resembling an apes
(C) The vocal tracts of Neanderthals resembled an apes
(D) The Neanderthals vocal tracts resembled the apes
(E) The vocal tracts of the Neanderthals resembled those of the apes
according to me it should be A.
B is out coz it uses resembling. D is out coz it uses Neanderthal's while later on "were" is used. The sentence should begin with Neanderthals to make it grammatically correct.
E is not grammatically correct as there is no "they" after "and so".
C is grammatically incorrect.
wht say ppl
The Cordoba bill requires that a company pay the full cost of any environmental damage caused by its actions in the last ten years.
A that a company pay the full cost of any environmental damage caused by its actions in the last ten years.
B a company pays the full cost of any environmental damage caused by its actions in the last ten years.
C that a company pay the full cost of any environmental damage caused by their actions in the last ten years.
D a company to pay the full cost of any environmental damage caused by their actions in the last ten years.
E that companies pay the full cost of any environmental damage caused by actions in the last ten years.
Don you guys think it should be "pays" in the option A to make it correct.
Is it pay coz it represents the infinitive verb form?

(A) Neanderthals had a vocal tract that resembled those of the apes
(B) Neanderthals had a vocal tract resembling an apes
(C) The vocal tracts of Neanderthals resembled an apes
(D) The Neanderthals vocal tracts resembled the apes
(E) The vocal tracts of the Neanderthals resembled those of the apes
Shouldn't it be (B)? I think that Neanderthals are the subject of the statement. They were without language and so supplanted by present human beings.
Vocal tracts were not replaced by human beings!
guys can u post an expln for this one??

Vocal tract is singular..
So 'those' doesnt go with that..
So I think 'B' is a better option
can some one explain this...

there is a diff in the usage of "rather" and "instead".
Rather than is used with verbs but Instead of is used with nouns.
Plus, gerund (verb+ing) is a noun so it will be followed by "instead of".
