256 SC Complete Solutions

by gmatmachoman » Sat Feb 06, 2010 11:39 am
This is one initiative from me. I shall be posting list of SC's which are worthwhile to discuss from "The 256 SC collections".I shall be adding the SC that has a definite pattern described by OG's which could also be handy for reference at some point of time in your prep.

I shall post the OA after few discussions for the SC posted by me.

On a small note, while posting your IMO's plz post your reasoning also & do mention the question no along with it!

1.As a photojournalist, commercial photographer, artist and filmmaker, he has ventured everywhere from the remote highlands of New Guinea to the glitzy beaches of Saint-Tropez and saw many outstanding sites, many of which are depicted in his latest book.

A. saw many outstanding sites, many of which are depicted in his latest book.
B. saw many outstanding sites, many of whom are depicted in his latest book.
C. saw many outstanding sites, many of them are depicted in his latest book.
D. seen many outstanding sites, many of which are depicted in his latest book.

Past perfect used here ......so seen

rules out A , B ,C

outstanding sites, in which many.....loses subject here ...how can we depict in the sites? we can depict sites in the book :)

Rules out E.

Check D - past perfect used, "many of which" denotes the sites which are depicted in the book

Clearly D

Machoman....can you please post different questions in different(new) posts.

The reason being, in the end it will be a mess and we always have to depend on the question numbers.

Let these two of them remain as it is....but in future,each question different post . Thanks.
