Sentence Correction

I think one of the problem with 'C" is the use of verb "is" ?

the amount of is correct coz MB is a thing and there is increase in the number of MB sold, go we use 'greater' when we take numbers in account.

Ha ha

popular television show GMAT and the city. .... ? Do u all think its popular.. ? Not even 1 of us know wht the heck MB is.

Thanks guys.

Unfortunately there is no explanation given.

Because the sentence refers to 'their' in the later part of the sentence I would think C and E are incorrect because option includes singular verb is.

B is wordy and awakward.

I don't know which one to pick between A and E. If I have to choose I will choose option A.

Can someone please explain why A is incorrect?

Cmon every1 knows what MB is its such a popular brand of footwear. Probably the guys must be clueless but don't include the girls in "every1".

Btw just a general question are brands like MB, Chanel etc countable nouns or uncountable. I'm still confused whether we should use amount/number.

GREATER is used when we compare and Increase is used to express change of 1 thing over time.

The price of silver increased by 10$
The price of Silver is greater than copper.

So, Here We are com
paring the previous sales with the expected higher sales,so greater.SO D
but not sure abt usage of 'their' for a brand name

Well I am looking at one of the pair now as I write this. If you want to understand SC religiously, you have to watch the GMAT and city! It is a must!

Lolz logitech count me in

Thanks vivek for making it clear now. Appreciate your effort.

Thanks Vivek.

You have said a very valid point. The option should use 'greater' but as you said I am not sure what 'their' is referring to and the option also seems to be wordy.

wouldn't usage of 'amount' be incorrect in D because MB is countable.

example - 1 Manolo Blahnik shoe, 2 MB shoes, 3 MB shoes and so on?

wouldn't you be using 'number' instead of 'amount'?

As far as I know, you use amount for uncountable entities. like amount of water, amount of money etc.

unless MB (which is a brand) is understood to be an uncountable entity, I feel D is incorrect. And that is why I picked E.
