Easy Einstein

by gmatblood » Thu Oct 20, 2011 10:42 am
Of all the years in Einstein's life, possibly none is more impressive than 1905 when four of his ground-breaking papers were published in a prominent German physics journal.


A:
B: maybe none was more impressive as
C: possibly none was more impressive than
D: perhaps none is more impressive as
E: maybe none is more impressive than

IMO: C

E: maybe none is more impressive than

IMO: C
Talking past tense, so A, D, E are eliminated

B: maybe none was more impressive as - as ____ as , more ____ than are the right usage of as and than, hence eliminated

C: possibly none was more impressive than

OA - C

IMO C.
Getting defeated is just a temporary notion, giving it up is what makes it permanent.
