Also, Apple's share........has declined. (Has is required instead of have)
This is perfect analysis...No questions from my side for you @nisagl750 :)

Hi Payal,

Can I ask one general question here?
"I am looking forward to hearing from you"

I am from India, and I remember in my school, I was taught something different.

"I am looking forward to hear from you"

OR I am looking forward to meet you
instead of
I am looking forward to meeting you

but GMAT follows the second sentence type.

Can you please explain a bit on when to use verb and when verb+ing , or do we always use verb+ing in these statements?

Thanks

D and E - Changes the actual meaning. They suggest that "Weaker demand caused the shares to decline". But, it is the other way round.
Hence, C !
@gughanbose, good analysis. It would be great if you could analyze choice A slightly more. I just want to make sure that your analysis is complete. Would choice A be correct if I changed "have" to "has", i.e. if I removed the SV number error. Let me know what you think.
Hi e-GMAT,
Apart from have/has[which is an obvious error], I find that "because" placed awkwardly. I really can't pin point why, but it seems wrong. I am not so sure though !

Waiting for Official Explanation !

Cheers,
Gughan Bose

"iPhone is DUE TO weaker-than-expected demand" implies WEAKER DEMAND modifies iPhone. Or we can say iPhone WAS CAUSED BY WEAKER DEMAND (illogical). Drop A/C
@patanjali.purpose, first of all great attempt at this question. Secondly, may I ask you to revisit your analysis of choice A. You interpreted choice A as "iPhone is due to...". I am not sure why you skipped the introductory part of this sentence when you made this interpretation.

Looking forward to hearing from you. :)

Payal
Thanks for pointing the mistake. I missed that for some unknown (donot remember now) reason,but your detailed analysis is very useful.
