Don't you think it is good to underline the question. Think if the same question comes in GMAT and you have to answer in 1 minute....can you do that? Please value others time as well.

"that of " has been used in the non underlined portion of the sentence

By the year 2000, A Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens' gripping book portraying the suffering of the proletariat under the brutal subjugation of the French aristocracy had around 200 million copies in print, making it more than that of almost any other English book ever written.
A) book portraying the suffering of the proletariat under the brutal subjugation of the French aristocracy had around 200 million copies in print, making it more than
It refer's to book not print. So while comparing statement is as follows
making the book more than that of almost any other... So comparison is incorrect.

Another problem is with comma... who had around 200 million copies in print.

B) book portraying the suffering of the proletariat under the brutal subjugation of the French aristocracy had around 200 million copies in print, which is more than
Need to have Comma to make sentence clearer.
(I am not sure about what is which referring to.... Does "which" refer to "200 million copies in print"-phrase or "print"-none - Could someone explain? )

C) book portraying the suffering of the proletariat under the brutal subjugation of the French aristocracy, had around 200 million copies in print, more than
Correct

D) book portraying the suffering of the proletariat under the brutal subjugation of the French aristocracy, had around 200 million copies in print, making it more than
it refers to book..

E) book portraying the suffering of the proletariat under the brutal subjugation of the French aristocracy had around 200 million copies in print and is more than
Both the statements must not be connected with AND.

Aditya,

You are totally right.

Dammit. Is this Platinum GMAT again? We've found a number of errors in their material, so be careful when working with it.

(C) is really questionable here. There is no referent for "that," as you correctly pointed out, Aditya. It wants to be "the number of copies," but that isn't actually in the sentence. Also the "it" is totally unclear; it's expletive, I guess, but that doesn't make much sense.

Ignore this questions (IMHO).

Hey Sue,

As annoying as it is, most people who post questions on here neglect to use the weird HTML code buttons to locate the underlined portion. However, remember you can always use the answer choices to isolate the section that's meant to be underlined. Then, you can paste it into a document if you really need to see it that way to do the question. Annoying, I know! : )
