1 --> B:
Eliminate A, C, and E because it falsely uses as. Hummingbirds are no insects and can therefore only hover LIKE insects
synonym to like is similar.
Between B and D one can eliminate D because it is very circumstantial.

2 --> B:
eliminate A because it redundantly refery to revenue
eliminate C because should is obsolete
eliminate D because "its" is wrong, but I cannot give you a grammatical rule for that.
eliminate E because it is circumstantial plus it is missing the word that: there might have been an expectation that it would rise.

3. --> E:
This is just "gut feeling". A, B, C and D sound very awkward to me.

4. --> B: IMO is E. Can anybody explain why it should be B?

Hi i still did not understand the 1st one... LIKE as you correctly said is for similarity and comparison.... but it is used whilst comparing nouns... I the first question hovering is being compared with flitting so shouldn't we use AS? coz its used for comparing actions...

I still think that hummingbirds are compared to insects and not the verbs are compared to each other.

Any experts on this?

I agree with you guys on the first question. I see that "as" is correct because two actions are compared not noun ?????

Alll my answers are correct except 1. I think for 1st question A is correct as we should use AS because verbs are compared. Can some one explain this? Expert pls explain this

Some one asked for explanation to 4th Question-
This is Consistency question for me. What is there before rather than should be same after that.
Example- our solar system are a common phenomenon in the universe rather than. We need the same consistency after Rather than....
Choice B and C do that by using rather than a type . But option C in correctly uses whose which disqualify this option.
B is correct.

For ppl who are trying to understand the 4th question, well i figured out two things..one v. imp point is that the idiomatic expression is incidentally from... so that leaves us with only 2 options A and B... and the 2nd imp thing is that the nine planets cant be developing from, they collectively can be a type that develope from...

Hence, B
