An international group of more than 2,000

group is singular, thus projects should be used.
a,b,c eliminated
for 1.8 ,6.3 between-and should be used.
IMO E

Are you sure that there is 'of between' is there in the answer choices???

I suspect 'of between' can someone clarify on that ?

Hi,
I think the usage is OK, just as we say a value of greater than 10.

IMO E

I think D changes the meaning as if scientists are projecting(as in projecting a satellite) something for it to range from A to B

Final solution at one place:

Important: The purpose of this post (and all the other posts by me) is to give a complete solution to all GMAT-Prep Verbal questions at one place. Sometimes students have to wade through dozens of posts to get to the final answer. My posts will give one complete and crisp solution required to arrive at the correct answer by eliminating the wrong one. Some of the content in these posts may have been taken from various other sources (discussion forums).

An international group of more than 2,000 scientists project an average global warming that will be between 1.8 and 6.3 degrees Fahrenheit by the year 2000.
(A) project an average global warming that will be between 1.8 and
(B) project an average global warming to be from 1.8 to
(C) project global warming that will average between 1.8 and
(D) projects global warming to average from 1.8 to
(E) projects an average global warming of between 1.8 and

The subject of the sentence is ‘group’, so the correct verb is ‘projects’ … this eliminates A, B, and C.

Also, the average is a fixed number. It is not a range.

Imagine someone average GMAT score is 730 (in multiple attempts).

We can say: His average score is between 720 and 740. CORRECT

But we can’t say: His average score is from 720 to 740. INCORRECT

Same deal here: So D is wrong.

Correct: E
