I would choose B

A- I don't believe you can begin that phrase with the qualifications

B- Correct

C- Same as A

D- This should probably be worded "the quality of the engineers"

E- improper comparison. Qualifications can't be compared to a corporation/group

A. the qualifications of the engineers are better than those of
B. the engineers have qualifications better than those of
C. the qualifications of the engineers are better than they are of
D. the quality engineers are better than those of
E. the engineers have qualifications better than

I would stake on A

The sentence says something about the engineers

1) there are more engineers and
2)the qualifications of the engineers

hence the second part after comma should have qualification.

Rules out B and E

"quality engineers" is this a name of a company? or person? No

Rules out D

how can a qualification is better than company(newton group)? this what says E

Rules out E

Left is A, correctly indicates about the qualification of engineers.

IMO A

I am not sure, I just spotted some comparison errors in other choices...

IMO A

though confused b/w A and B

basically the statement says , besides having more # of engineers , the qualif of engineers is also more.

i think these are the two comparisons.

I'd go with A

Confusion is nothing new!

I am confused between A and B but I would pick A over B

I believe the sentence is trying to compare the qualifications rather the engineers.. I may be wrong.

i agree.

In addition to having more engineers than Brunswick Inc. does,<- Should modify either a company
or the engineers who are working in a company...

i.e the engineers have more number of engineers working with them and have a better qualification also...

in that case .. B is my choice.. OA plz...??

A. the qualifications of the engineers are better than those of <- qualification is not getting modified
B. the engineers have qualifications better than those of <- Engineers are getting modified..
C. the qualifications of the engineers are better than they are of
D. the quality engineers are better than those of
E. the engineers have qualifications better than

Aite! i think there are more than 5 replies on this Q, gmatmachoman!

Kindly put up the OA and kill the anxiety

In addition to having more engineers than Brunswick Inc. does, the qualifications of the engineers are better than those of Newton Group.

A. the qualifications of the engineers are better than those of - Makes qualifications the subject and is wordier
B. the engineers have qualifications better than those of correctly makes engineers as the subject and is concise
C. the qualifications of the engineers are better than they are of - who does they refer
D. the quality engineers are better than those of - Alters the meaning
E. the engineers have qualifications better than - better than Newton Group - Wrong Comparison


B should be the correct answer.

Another flaw that just came to my mind regarding - B

Read both sentences below

1)the engineers have qualifications better than those of .......(same as B)

2)the engineers have better qualifications than those of.......

which one sounds good --- I think second one.

You are correct, A is the correct answer, My Bad. refer to the discussion on Gmat Club

B - seems to indicate that the engineers have qualifications better than qualifications of Newton Group.
