While some academicians believe that business ethics should

by RBBmba@2014 » Thu Jun 11, 2015 7:21 am
While some academicians believe that business ethics should be integrated into every business course, others say that students will take ethics seriously only if it would be taught as a separately required course.

A) only if it would be taught as a separately required course
B) only if it is taught as a separate, required course
C) if it is taught only as a course required separately
D) if it was taught only as a separate and required course
E) if it would only be taught as a required course, separately

OA: B

P.S: Although I got it right easily, but a quick clarification is required - in B two PARALLEL entities are connected without a conjunction. HOW THIS IS POSSIBLE in GMAT ? (It appears that as all other options have errors hence B stands out to be the OA even with this issue!)

@ Experts - would be curious to know from you about this DEVIATION in GMAT! Isn't this rare?

OA: as a separate, required course
Here, the modified noun (course) is preceded by two adjectives connected only by a comma.
This structure is rare on the GMAT, but it is perfectly fine.
Another example:
John is a happy, wealthy man.
Private tutor exclusively for the GMAT and GRE, with over 20 years of experience.
Followed here and elsewhere by over 1900 test-takers.
I have worked with students based in the US, Australia, Taiwan, China, Tajikistan, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia -- a long list of countries.
My students have been admitted to HBS, CBS, Tuck, Yale, Stern, Fuqua -- a long list of top programs.

As a tutor, I don't simply teach you how I would approach problems.
I unlock the best way for YOU to solve problems.

So, bottom-line is that although it's rare on the GMAT, still two PARALLEL entities CAN BE connected only by a comma (without a conjunction). Right ?

BTW, is this sort of DEVIATION visible in case of more than two PARALLEL entities ? I mean, can we have any official Qs that connects more than two PARALLEL entities only by a comma (without a conjunction) ?

Look forward to hear from you!

Correct.
For other official examples of two parallel forms connected solely by a comma, check the end of my second post here:

This usage of commas seems to be limited to two parallel forms.
If there are more than two parallel forms, a conjunction is required.
