D

by sunnyjohn » Mon Sep 14, 2009 5:43 am
D

Here is my explanation:
On a Serious node, I did not understand the Question at all, But its good to investigate such Question.

First of all I eliminated A
Reason : 'IT' : there is no singular item here.

Second I eliminated:
Attempt to : Correct idiom.
So B,C and E are out.

I left with D.

The computer company's present troubles are a result of technological stagnation, marketing missteps, and managerial blunders so that several attempts to revise corporate strategies have failed to correct it.

IMO the answer should be E.

The subject is troubles... plural, this implies that the pronoun referring to troubles can not be it...so look for the pronouns that correpond to troubles, it is them. 'It' shall refer to the company and not the troubles??? :) [/i]

Secondly, forget about the phrase are a result of technological stagnation, marketing missteps, and managerial blunders - which leaves The computer company's present troubles are - that several attempts.....

i doubt the formation of 'in that' in option C. Please correct me!

A. so that several attempts to revise corporate strategies have failed to correct it.
B. so that several attempts at revising corporate strategies have failed to correct
C. in that several attempts at revising corporate strategies have failed to correct them
D. that several attempts to revise corporate strategies have failed to correct
E. that several attempts at revising corporate strategies have failed to correct them
IMO D

A. so that several attempts to revise corporate strategies have failed to correct it. pronoun reference error
B. so that several attempts at revising corporate strategies have failed to correct . <- so that doesn't refer to "technological stagnation, marketing missteps, and managerial blunders"

C. in that several attempts at revising corporate strategies have failed to correct them< - same as B

D. that several attempts to revise corporate strategies have failed to correct <- That refers to "technological stagnation, marketing missteps, and managerial blunders" which are being corrected..

E. that several attempts at revising corporate strategies have failed to correct them <- use of them is wrong..

OA plz

The Official Answer from the blue book -

by cccmom » Thu Apr 15, 2010 7:56 am
The correct answer is D. Is is from the blue (verbal guide) book, #84.

It helps me to change the sentence some to see it. I couldn't see it because the series. This speaks to the strategy of removing the fluff, so you can disect the sentence. Once I took at the series, it was easier to read.

Here is how I saw it - " My present troubles are a result of studying that is driving me crazy!" I thought you needed the "in that" but the oficial explanation says the "in that' should only be used if there is a follow up indicating how the two relate (the company's troubles and the three listed problems.). Going back to my no fluff verision, I would not say, "My present troubles are a result of studying in that is driving me crazy!"
