management

by hey_thr67 » Mon Jul 11, 2011 6:13 am
One study found that although government policy and the industrial sector in which a company operates can influence its productivity and financial strength, management decisions have at least as great an impact on a company's performance.

A- management decisions have at least as great an impact

B- decisions by management have a great impact

C- manager decisions impact greatly

D- decisions by a company's management impact greatly

E- what a company's management decides has a greater impact

A- management decisions have at least as great an impact

B- decisions by management have a great impact ---- passive

C- manager decisions impact greatly ---- awkward

D- decisions by a company's management impact greatly

E- what a company's management decides has a greater impact

Remember A is also correct because if the comparison gets completed before the use of another as then there is no point of putting another as to complete idiom as x as y

whats the OA????

A and E is the closed competitor here.
We either need 'Greater' to compare or we need 'as great as'.
Option E is awkward and lengthy.
This time no looking back!!!

+1 for A.

E can be eliminated also based on Although X, Y idiom usage.
