740 (97th Q49/V41) - from San Francisco - My GMAT Saga

guys I got B too but in all of these options don't the words "they" or "them" sound ambiguous in terms of referring to the artisans or the buddha images? I know they should refer to images but how do we resolve what it is referring to grammatically? I do not think there is ambig...

A plant (Madagascar periwinkle) is cultivated, a derivative of which is...
only E correctly captures the meaning of the sentence.

IMO - C Lets say in 1964, GNP was $100. 3% of that is 3 dollars. So, in 1964: 3 dollars --> 56,000 patents in 1978, GDP is $1000, 2.2% of that is 22...
