700+ Strange question

by challenger63 » Tue Jan 15, 2013 1:28 am
Long winded, winding sentence construction often appeals to novices, granting a sense of gravity and weight to what is otherwise prosaic and dull writing.

A) gravity and weight
B) grievousness and weightiness
C) grievousness and weight
D) gravity and weightiness
E) gravity and weighting

OA will be later.

IMO C

Although I'm thinking it could be [/spoiler]A[/spoiler]

[spoiler]gravity and weight seem parallel to prosaic and dull....but I'm thinking it can't be that easy[/spoiler]

Great Q. Post the OA soon!

We need a NOUN after OF

A SENSE OF X and Y (both X and Y should be NOUN).

B - both are ADJECTIVES
C - ADJECTIVE and NOUN
D - NOUN and ADJECTIVE
E- NOUN and gerund (not sure whether WEIGHTING is right word, but for it to act as NOUN, we require THE before WEIGHTING

IMO A
