GMATPrep modifier

by aimhigh715 » Sun Dec 09, 2007 1:00 pm
This one I was lost on... any lead would be good!

Saw the 3-2 split and chose the wrong pair entirely.... who can modify tribes? I thought thats' only for persons?

Furthermore, isn't amongst better for groups... why is it not B then?

Thanks in advance!

C is better cos the idiom it interact with

Among is comparing more than 2

Between is when we compare two things

E can be rules out for not using the correct idiom ...

As for the second sentence
the second part of the sentence ...signifies the present ...the discovery
Hence the first part requires teh past tense so we have D and E

In E the it is ambiguous ..pronuon reference error

for the first question b/w option C and E,option E lacks parallalism so E is wrong.

Who can be used for tribes, because tribes are groups of people. As for B, the idiom is interact with, not interact among.
