89. Although Ms. Bakara had previously emphasized that she could not speak for other Black people, she ventured to<< do so on this one occasion because she firmly believed that many minority people, likely most, would agree >>with her.
(A) do so on this one occasion because she firmly believed that many minority people, likely most, would agree
(B) speak on this one occasion since she firmly believed that many minority people, likely most, would have agreed
(C) so speak on this one occasion due to her firmly believing that many minority people, even most, would likely agree
(D) do so on this one occasion because she firmly believed that many minority people, if not most, would agree
(E) do so on this one occasion since she firmly believed many minority people, and even most, would likely agree

Kindly help with this question
Is D the correct option?

I eliminated options with Since as because is the better word that is used when an explanation of cause is given.. A and E are out. C is awkward

Betweem A and D.. if not most, i found it better :P

sameerbhagwatmba1,

Doesn't D change the meaning of the sentence by replacing "likely most", with "if not most"?

I would go with A.

What is the OA?

Well, quite close options :shock: ......

A says 'likely most'...ummm somehow not very convincing.

D says 'if not most'.....'would' ........I believe the use of would with if is considered wrong in GMAT, rather GMAT prefers WILL with if...can ne1 confirm this??

IMO A

Thanks for replies

Hi,

OA is D, but I am still confused, I didn't knew that use of "whether" is wrong with "if"
Anyways, thanks all of you for prompt replies, this was my first post

:D
