In B,C&D; pronoun 'it' has no reference.......in GMAT pronoun 'it' should refer to a noun.........
so we are left with
A. looks ok
E.estimated as having ----looks awkward
criticisms are welcome........
I think its 'C' .
Three times the price , (per miligram),that the drug's maker charges.
Bro,
Rules to eliminate some choices are :
Media shold always be treated as singular entity and analyses is wrong . So these 2 rules would eliminate for you the choices B C D .
Coming to a and e ,
E can be eliminated since their is used for media which is ncorrect since as i said media is a singular entity .
Hence answer would be A .

Here are 3 brain teasers (at least for me 😃 )
Q1. Until recently, the Inuit people led a nomadic existence, sheltering in

and in structures made of stones, bones, driftwood, and skins.
A. Until recently, the Inuit people led a nomadic existence, sheltering
B. During recent times, the Inuit people lead a nomadic existence,
sheltering.
C. In the times that are recent, the Inuit people led a nomadic existence,
sheltered.
D. Up until recently, the Inuit people, leading a nomadic existence,
have sheltered.
E. Until recent times, leading a nomadic existence, the Inuit people

Q2. New items developed for automobiles in the 1997 model year included
a safer air bag , which, unlike previous air bags, eliminated the possibility
that a burst of smoke would appear when the bag inflated, and making an
already terrified passenger think the car was on fire.
A. inflated, and making.
B. Inflated, so that it could make.
C. Inflated and made.
D. Inflated and make.
E. Inflated to make.
Q3. Though the law will require emissions testing of all diesel vehicles, from
tractor trailers to excursion buses, it will have no effect on sport utility
vehicles, almost all of which are gasoline powered, and will not be subjectedto emissions-control standards as stringent as they are for
diesel-powered vehicles.
A. powered, and will not be subjected to emissions-control standards as
stringent as they are for
B. powered, and therefore not subjected to emissions-control standards
that are as stringent as those of
C. powered and therefore not subject to emissions-control standards as
stringent as those for
D. powered, which are not subject to emissions-control standards as
stringent as they are for
E. powered and therefore they are not subject to emissions-control
standards as stringent as those of
I think the answer is C.
A. 3 times the price as-- seems awkward.
B.same as A.
C. X is three times the price that the makers charge for Y seems correct
D.3 times the price of what-- awkward
E.at which -- charges for-- seems awkward
my pick is E.....
is that corrrect?
I think its 'C' .
Three times the price , (per miligram),that the drug's maker charges.
I think it should be of what (option D)
X is three times the price of what the Drug maker charges for Y
The underlined part is a noun and can be replaced say by Y
X is three times the price of Y.
I think the Correct Answer is D.
If u look at the structure of the sentence which follows immediately after the bold letters-but they have generally overlooked the cost of actually....
It looks MEDIA have had as a focus... is the near correct answer
Whats the right answer in the book, let us know!!

Hi.. i think the answers are (E) and (A) for the first and second respectively..
Here's my reasoning:-
In the first question - options A, B and D say that the supernova explosion is by itself a "type". But actually the supernova explosion is a "type of explosion" that was previously known to science; between C and E, I felt is C is awkward and hence chose E.
In the second question - we can straightaway rule out options D & E as they seem to suggest that Margaret went to photograph "with" murals. Between options A, B & C --> C has awkward structure and B uses the "-ing" form of the verb. That's why I chose A.
(Plz correct me if i'm wrong!)
Astronomers at the Palomar Observatory have discovered a distant supernova explosion, one that they believe is a type previously unknown to science.
(A) that they believe is
(B) that they believe it to be
(C) they believe that it is of
(D) they believe that is
(E) they believe to be of

(B) whose murals are brilliantly colored, their geometrical symmetries are embellished with old and new iconography, and their style is varying among women and houses
(C) whose murals are brilliantly colored, their geometrical symmetries are embellished with old and new iconography, and they are in styles that vary from woman to woman and house to house
(D) with murals brilliantly colored, their geometrical symmetries embellished with old and new iconography, and their style varies among women and houses
(E) with murals that are brilliantly colored, their geometrical symmetries embellished with old and new iconography, and their styles vary among women and houses
pls help with reasoning.......
Thank u Ashish..the correct answer is 'C'
Flintoff, thank u for replying...even i thought 'media' is singular...!
Cheers
Flintoff,
'media' is the plural form of 'medium'.....so plural verb required
A. Analyzing campaign expenditures, the media has had as a focus---- 'has' so incorrect
B. Analyses of campaign expenditures by the media has been focus on-----has been focused not 'focus'
C. In analyzing campaign expenditures, the media have focused on-----looks correct & idiom 'focus on'
D. Media analyses of campaign expenditures have had as a focus----looks awkward
E. In their analysis of campaign expenditures, the media has been focusing on---'has' so incorrect
correct me if i'm wrong......

Pls help
1)A --recently is correct recent times is awkward sheltering clearly states the purpose of igloos
2)C -- appear and made
3)C -- the statement requires present tense subject, ", and" gives a notion laws are subject so complex sentence concerned with gasoline powered vehicles needed. I think they is redundant also standards for looks better than standards of
1 . A
2 . NOT SURE
3 . E
Please let us know the book answers and if am right i would post in the explanations .
By the way were really in the category of brain teasers .

(Plz correct me if i'm wrong!)
1) D.
Might is correct. So out of B & D, B is wrong. Hence D which is grammatically correct though a little awkward.
2) E.
A, B, C are out bcoz they are too wordy.
D wud have been better if "than" were there instead of "as".
E is correct.
3) C.
"world has ever seen" makes C parallel.
Plz tell the OAs.
In B,C&D; pronoun 'it' has no reference.......in GMAT pronoun 'it' should refer to a noun.........
so we are left with
A. looks ok
E.estimated as having ----looks awkward
criticisms are welcome........
Hi.. I think the Answer is (C). Is that right?
Options (A), (D) and (E) seem to refer to the wing span of the Quetzalcoatlus as the largest flying creature! Between (B) and (C), the former is awkward, that's why I chose (C).

For 1st, I also think A is fine. But OA given is D.
For 2nd, my answer is also C, OA given is E. here we can reject that.
For 1st, do u think of any possibility that A could be wrong.
May be the use of participle.."sheltering"..?
