Hi All,

Can anybody help me to understand the explanation given for the correct answer choices of the Q no 210 & 218 of CR of OG10.

Q210:
What is wrong with extended? Why extending is more accurate?

Q218:
In option E, don't we need a 'be' at the end. i.e. .......measured and the results be published.

Thanks,
Samyak

it would be kinda tough to answer the question if you dont hav OG 10 ...so can you please post the questions ...


as far as "extending" is concerned ...might be related to parallelism ...it is a participle ...look at the other part if that is a participle or not ....

(A) extending
(B) extends
(C) extended
(D) it extended
(E) is extendin

218. Despite protests from some waste-disposal companies, state health officials have ordered the levels of
bacteria in seawater at popular beaches to be measured and that the results be published.

(B) that seawater at popular beaches should be measured for their levels of bacteria, with the results being
(C) the measure of levels of bacteria in seawater at popular beaches and the results to be

210) indeed "extending" is participle ....look at the parallelsim here ...."extending" refers back to "a giant fungus" .....the first part of the parallel structure is "interwoven" .....which is past participle ....to parallel this we need "extending" the participle form of extend.


218) "be" is there

"(E) that the levels of bacteria in seawater at popular beaches be"
