In the above problem i figured out the correct answer is C through the process of elimination using the correct idiom " EFFECT OF",and eliminating the other sentences based on the awkwardness.
I have one doubt in C. "The effect of ocean white caps on global warming is one of the many aspects of the ocean environment that are not yet incorporated in any detail into the computer models used to predict...
Here "are" represents the "one of the aspects".... do i need to take this as singular as it mentions "one of the" or i need to consider the plural verb???... if possible please explain with an example[/b]


Yes the correct answer is C. Yes Gmatkiss is correct... that are stands for 'many aspects...'

'one of the many aspects of the ocean environment that are'

in the above sentence eliminate 'of the ocean environment' and then see the sentence...

Whenever such a big sentence is given, always eliminate all the prepositional phrases as they are a distraction in identifying the subject and the verb and also the modifiers present in the sentence.

Wait I will give you another example for the same...

EG: LBW is one of the many parameters or ways in Cricket that can get a Batsman out.


Here 'in cricket' is a prepositional phrase and 'that' directly modifies the many ways or many parameters. When you eliminate the prepositional phrase, you can easily see the modifier...


Hope this helpss.....
