Now it seems that Manhattan has too started copy pasting questions from OG...
Was nt expecting this from Manhattan...
Same question..subject changed..same concept.. Question present in OG11.
These kinda questions in the tests raise the score of the exam taker and do not represent the actual level....
:(

adi 800 whatever it may be mangattan is for Gmat and og is bible for Gmat so its good that it is clearing the concept of question in the bible( og). i think u should reply the question rather criticizing Manhattan's strategy. do u know kaplan takeover manhattan now u will face kaplan questions in manhattan tests

in "many of them who" - them and who are redundant. Both are referring back to elderly patients which is unnecessary.

well said Pradeep.

Actually I was going to select D but it was looking wordy to me.
See :
Elderly patients, many of whom take <>
can be written more effectively by
Elderly patients, who take <>

So I thought D is wordy/redundant.

Then I scanned the other choices. C was making some sense
Elderly patients, and many of them who take expensive brand-name medications daily, could reduce their medical costs by switching to generic drugs and making lifestyle changes.

Here I am seeing two groups
1. Elderly patients AND
2. many of them who take expensive brand-name

So I selected C.

OA is D.
https://www.beatthegmat.com/manhatan-sc-5-t8709.html

But I don't agree with OA.
D is equivalent to:

Elderly patients, many of them(whom) take expensive brand-name medications daily, could reduce their medical costs by switching to generic drugs and making lifestyle changes.

from the meaning, the sentence should be -> elders (who take expansive drugs c) .could reduce .....

' who take expansive drugs' is necessary for the right meaning but D is putting it like an extra info.

Hi Paes,

The meaning of both the sentences above is different.
The first sentence says many of the elderly patients. (NOT ALL)
Second says Elderly Patients (means ALL)

Hope this helps!!

kvcp,

You are wrong here.

When we say :

Elderly patients, who take expensive brand-name medications daily, could reduce their medical costs by switching to generic drugs and making lifestyle changes.

We are talking only about those patients who take expensive medicines.

See the similar example :

People who speak two languages are called bilingual. [ https://www.englishlanguageguide.com/eng ... ronoun.asp ]

that's why I selected C over D.
I found no grammatical mistake with C,

You are right about your example. But the intended meaning of the sentence is different.

"We are talking only about those patients who take expensive medicines." is WRONG
The original sentence is not speaking about those patients who take expensive medicines.

It is infact speaking about all elderly patients. It is just giving us additional information that many of them take expensive medicines.

Hope this helps. Let me know in case you need more info.
