IMO E....since this is a ongoing action so we need present progressive.

so A, B, C = out.
D = no referent for it.
E = Correct

lmao is E.

"selling nearly..." modifies Argentina most logically.

IT is not correct here.. not sure to what IT is referring to. E sounds better.

@ the original poster.. are you sure you didint miss the IT in choice E

Because without IT in E... that sentence is vague...

D has IT..but GONE is incorrect..as the action is present..and still going on.

So i think ans is E, but E is missing IT to refer to honey..


can anyone please tell me:

what is the subject of the sentence???? Honey or Argentina???

how do you identify the subject??? in such long sentence???

check grammar

"haft of which " in A is not a clause. wrong

"haft of it that gose" in B is not a clause. wrong

check meaning

"it" in C is ambiguous

"haft of it goes" is parallel to "Ahentina has becom". No logic

E is left

But almost half going means what? I think half going is incorrect. Can any one point some standard uses of the same.

IMO E..

Just now skimmed through the source but I am confused abt the " subject".

Seems Honey is the subject & "it" refers to "Honey"

YES option "E" is correct.


Here it is what has been written in the article.


"They don't have any export industry to speak of at all," Treasury Secretary Paul H. O'Neill said dismissively in an interview with the magazine The Economist last summer. "And they like it that way."

But here on the humid pampas, where fields of alfalfa and clover stretch to the horizon, the emergence of a flourishing honey industry belies that notion. In little more than a decade, Argentina has become the world's leading exporter of honey, selling nearly 90,000 tons a year to foreign markets, with almost half of it going to the United States.

The United States, however, has not greeted this with praise or support. Instead, responding to complaints of dumping by American honey producers (complaints that honey importers in the United States call unfounded), it placed tariffs of up to 66 percent on Argentine honey, effectively shutting it out of the market.

The decision, which went into effect in November, has dealt a serious blow to an industry that earned $86.6 million in much-needed foreign exchange in 2000 and provides a livelihood to thousands of farmers. Though the Argentine government has done little to mount a defense or appeal, officials argue that Argentine beekeepers are being unfairly punished for being more efficient. "

Now, there should be no confusion :-)[/img]
