The Growth

OA A

I chose B



Is B is not correct choice as from when cannot be used together?? It would be correct if only when is used after comma?

if we want to study hard sc, study the hard ones from gmatprep.

I do not think that study of hard questions from other source is good. why?

creating of hard questions is harder than creating the normal questions.

this question is based on meaning. This idea is good but this idea dose not means that the meaning cheating can be any thing.

I do not study this question.

Pls comment on my idea. Thank you

Hey Soumita,

I don't actually think this question is so bad; the meaning issues are definitely fair. However, in both (A) and (B), there should be a comma after the opening modifier "between 2010 and 2012". Beyond that, (A) is great.

(B) has lots of problems. "The growth was more" doesn't mean anything (growth can't be more...more what?). 40 year needs an s on the end: 40 years. There shouldn't be a comma before "from" if it's a prepositional modifier (they don't use commas).

(C) The use of the present tense here is wrong. The use of the past perfect is also weird (past perfect and present basically never coexist in a single sentence, and never without a third verb in the simple past). Also, "had been" what?

(D) The use of the present tense is wrong.

(E) It's not the growth that exceeded, it's the number. Meaning problem.

Hope that helps!
