OG SC sample question #12

by shoot4greatness » Mon Feb 28, 2011 8:44 pm
on #12, it states

Rising inventories, when unaccompanied correspondingly by increases in sales, can lead to production cutbacks that would hamper economic growth.

Is it grammatically correct to say "when not accompanied correspondingly"? Adverbial modifier, "correspondingly" is modifiying a participle "accompanied". [/u]

I feel that "Rising inventories, when not accompanied by increases in sales, can lead to production cutbacks that would hamper economic growth." would have been correct but i am not sure...............Can someone put some light on the same?????

To me "Rising inventories, when unaccompanied by a corresponding increases in sales, can lead to production cutbacks that would hamper economic growth." sounds more correct.
