Dear Friends,

I was having problems in answering the following question.

Responding to the public's fascination with-and sometimes undue alarm overpossible
threats from asteroids, a scale developed by astronomers rates the likelihood
that a particular asteroid or comet may collide with Earth.

A. a scale developed by astronomers rates the likelihood that a particular asteroid or
comet may
B. a scale that astronomers have developed rates how likely it is for a particular asteroid
or comet to
C. astronomers have developed a scale to rate how likely a particular asteroid or comet
will be to
D. astronomers have developed a scale for rating the likelihood that a particular asteroid
or comet will
E. astronomers have developed a scale that rates the likelihood of a particular asteroid or
comet that may

Please help.

OA after some discussions.

I picked Option E
Regards
Deano.

Liklihood and may ... redundant.. E is out

C looks more happy for me.

A scale can't respond to public's fascination so A/B are out.
First take: 640 (50M, 27V) - RC needs 300% improvement
Second take: coming soon..
Regards,
HSPA.

Will go with C.

In this, may and likelihood should be redundant.

Thanks.

B. Passive
C. will be to.... awkward
D. Active. No redundancy. Correct
E. likelihood.. may.. redundant

I think there is some problem with the OA. It should be D. If the OA is C, then the source of the question is an important question....

Could any of the experts please intervene...

I think 'will do sth' represent sth happen in the future, so do 'be to do sth' (such as: I am to take the GMAT = I am going to take the GMAT). So we can't use 'will be to do sth', it'llmake this clause redundant.
Am I right ?
