1) E

2) C (not sure) explanations anyone. None seem right to me Is it right to say believe it here?

3) E

@Rumpel...

1) whats wrong with A. How is "undeniable" different from "cannot be denied".

2) I'm not sure of any plausible explanation for this.

3) can "or" be used independently without using "either" ?

btw the OAs are E, A, E

E,E,E

Question 1:

A. It isn't clear "what" the critics have attempted to do. "Undeniable" is being used as an adjective, and this cannot directly imply that the critics are trying to deny the importance.

B. The verb we wanted has arrived, but this choice is wordy and awkward because of "not able to be" and "to do that" is not acceptable.

C. "is not to be denied" is again wordy.

D. to do "it" is incorrect when trying to reference a verb.

E. "to do so" is the correct way to imply that the critics were trying to deny it, and denied is used in the verb form.

Question 2:

A. This may look wrong, but it is actually fine. "believed it immoral" is actually acceptable, and we have parallelism between to work and to own. The participial phrase "leaving it to his wife.." correctly modifies Bronson.

B. the supporting of... this is passive and not preferable.

C. working for, and to own, are not parallel. Again passive.

D. to work and owning are not parallel. supports of is awkward.

E. There was immorality in, this is very awkward usage and doesn't improve upon choice A.

A very stylistic question, and thus remember that if there are grammatical flaws in other sentences that may look stylistically better, that is GMAT trap.

Question 3

First, ignore the middle modifier "selected...make" since it does not affect the incorrect sentence structure.

A. system of sounds, that does not have.... this incorrectly modifies the system of sounds as not having rules. Changes the intended meaning that the language lacks rules.

B. that do not have is incorrect grammatically too since system of sounds is singular.

C. lacks something, and has no... this is not parallel.

D. lacks something, or having no... this is also not parallel.

E. lacks something, or something else. Perfectly parallel and concise.

@ getneonow ........


1) IMO E
confuse b/w A and E...but eliminate A on the basis of conciseness issue...and marked E.
2) IMO A
not very tough.
A)
B)parallelism issue [that.....and.. that...]
C)parallelism issue [that.....and.. that...]
D) to work for wages and owning property [not parallel wrong]
E) there points to loaction , but no loaction defined..[wrong]


3) IMO E

Fanny Burney's historical importance as a novelist is undeniable, even though many critics have at tempted to do so.
(A) is undeniable, even though many critics have attempted to do so
(B) is not able to be denied, even though many critics have attempted to do that
(C) is not to be denied, even though many critics have attempted doing so
(D) cannot be denied, even though many critics have attempted to do it
(E) cannot be denied, even though many critics have attempted to do so

Some thoughts:

He is undeniable, and all do so. => Does it make sense? NO.
In case of action verb, we use "to do so". In the sentence "he is undeniable" "is" is not an action verb.
We can not use "to do so" in option A.

B, C, and D are awkward.

Answer is E.
