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?
The idiom is require X to do Y or require that
The used of that makes this a subjunctive and it takes base form of the verb
A.Correct
B.Idiom is violated
C. a company---their not correct
D.same as C
E.Caused by whose action?
I think tha answer should be A
Hi guys,
need ur inputs on this SC...
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
This is there in OG 10. The answer is B
Neanderthals should be the subject as the second part of the sentence talks about them not their vocal tracts and vocal tract --- ape's vocal tract(equal in number)
can some one explain this...
Discrimination in wages paid in occupations that are predominantly male over the predominantly female have given rise to substantial differentials between the wage of housepainters and secretaries and between the wages of parking-lot attendants and library assistants.
(A) paid in occupations that are predominantly male over the predominantly female have
(B) paid in occupations that are predominantly make over those that are predominantly female have
(C) that favors predominantly male occupations over the predominantly female have
(D) that favors predominantly male occupations over those that are predominantly female has
(E) paid in predominantly male occupations over the predominantly female has
Here Discrimination is the subject the sentence talks only about that so the verb has to agree with discrimination
which rules out all but D and E
Here that is a pronoun and it always refers back to the noun nearest to it. Which means in D that refers to wages . In D use of "that" makes one to think wages favors(another verb error) predominantly----- which is illogical
E is clear and concise

but "predominantly male occupations over the predominantly female" tries to compare "the male occupations with female ".. is that logical ?
pushing_hard Saysbut "predominantly male occupations over the predominantly female" tries to compare "the male occupations with female ".. is that logical ?
No it isn't ;). But I think we don't call females predominantly female so occupations has to be assumed here. Thats what I think 😃
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
i have said this earlier also but will put it down here again ..which can modify both noun and noun phrases ...over here its modifying the noun phrase " challenges facing the company ".
Other than that dont u think D is wrong for the same reasons that u have stated to eliminate B . If "among them .....decline in sales " was modifying challenges then shudnt it be closer to challenges than to company.Looks to me that the phrase is modifying company, when it shud be the other way round . Its a clear cut case of a misplaced modifier . Only which can modify the noun phrase "challenges facing the company", making B the winner .

Hmmm you said it is a noun phrase then how can the modifier refer to company 😉 it should modify the new challenges facing the company right? Also I think D is not correct because there is no verb, which makes it a sentence fragment.I was very much fixated on which referring to nearest noun. As it goes which can refer to noun phrase as well. In this case it holds good. Thanks for correcting me on the use of which
shiva1985 SaysNo it isn't ;). But I think we don't call females predominantly female so occupations has to be assumed here. Thats what I think :)
ya, shiva's right here on both the counts ...wages favors is incorrect and also occupations is implied over here.These two reasons make D the loser and E the winner.
Hi,
Could someone please let me know the usage rules for the following
1. "As" vs "Like" : Gone through Manhattan but not satisfied

includes is wrong. It should be "include"
In the following sentence, is "have" ok? Isn't it incorrect and should be replaced by "has".

A. is wrong b/c it uses a plural verb, broadcast, with a singular
subject, each.
B. is not only awkward but also incorrectly uses 'if' in the subordinate clause
connected with 'can' in the main clause.
C.same as B 'if' in subordinate clause and 'can' in main clause.
D.same as A.
E. is the correct choice..... one of the accepted meanings of 'as' is for instance, and with this meaning, as is an adverb and can therefore be followed by parts of speech other than simply nouns.
guys, everything is fine, but don't u think in (B)
...challenges facing the company, which includes....
includes is wrong. It should be "include"
I had not seen questions like this before (which is why I picked D initially) but I think the focus is not on challenges but on numerous challenges facing the company something like number of students.
