Pagination process

by gmatrant » Sat Jun 26, 2010 1:05 am
The technical term "pagination" is a process that leaves editors, instead of printers, assemble the page images that become the metal or plastic plates used in printing.
(A) is a process that leaves editors, instead of printers, assemble
(B) refers to a process that allows editors, rather than printers, to assemble
(C) is a process leaving the editors, rather than printers, to assemble
(D) refers to a process which allows editors, but not to printers, the assembly of
(E) has reference to the process leaving to editors, instead of the printer, assembling

In sentence A, if I replace "is a process" with 'refers to a process' as below

The technical term "pagination" refers to a process that leaves editors, instead of printers, assemble the page images that become the metal or plastic plates used in printing.
I feel I need to have "to assemble" - in the above, though I am not able to gramatically justify the same.
Can someone explain if 'to assemble' is required

"to assemble" is definitely required.
The technical term “pagination� refers to a process that leaves editors, instead of printers, assemble the page images that become the metal or plastic plates used in printing.
The highlighted term lacks a verb, and hence creates a fragment.

Btw, is the correct answer B?

What is wrong with C? I had to choose between B and C, unfortunately GMAT got the best of me

A technical term in itself is not a process.
hence ACE out.

D looks awkward. allow X to do Y IMO is the right Idiom.

Hence pick B.
