OG 12 - SC 22 - Incorrect??

by TheGoat » Mon Jul 12, 2010 4:20 am
22. None of the attempts to specify the causes of crime
explains ........

I believe NONE of THE ATTEMPTS......EXPLAIN..... should be the correct version.

I may be incorrect but then would like to know the rules here.

Cheers!

22. None of the attempts to specify the causes of crime
explains why most of the people exposed to the
alleged causes do not commit crimes and, conversely,
why so many of those not so exposed have.
(A) have
(B) has
(C) shall
(D) do
(E) could

D is good here. Go through the MGMAT SC guide book, chapter number 13, you will get an answer.

Guys, the correct answer is indeed D no question \ concerns on that.

The point I am try to make is:

NONE of THE ATTEMPTS to specify the causes of crime EXPLAINS........ (see the CAPITAL)

I believe NONE of THE ATTEMPTS......EXPLAIN..... should be the correct version so whether GMAT question is incorrectly written???????

Dear Goat,

Since you have not underlined the sentence and as per what I see the part what you are talking about is non-underlined. Therefore, it is official and correct. We are not trying to correct non-underlined part of the sentence, we have to focus on underlined part and correct the same
