To me A looks best...
For telling ratios GMAT's preferred idiom is "n out of m"....
But it seems not following the S-V.....one....carry...

OA given is E this question is from princeton verbal..
I also thought the answer to be A, but it's not..
Please elaborate..

in A there seems to be S-V issue...
But I am not sure whether GMAT likes the idiom as in E....
There are couple of example in OG where n out of m is said by OG....

I think its not only on Gmat. there is a subtle flaw here..I hope I am not wrong.goelmohit2002 wrote:IMO GMAT like n out of m....for this type of scenarios....shilpi84 wrote:Why is C wrong?
for ex,take this sentence,
during rainy season, out of all the houses, one can see beautiful flowers.
so you can't be sure about the relationship between "one" and "out of" here.
If C were correct, then in my sentence "one" would mean -one out of all house can see flowers. But houses can't see..not in my country:)
but E is pretty clear.
The powers of two are bloody impolite!!
If we use every that means an obligation one out of every fifty must carry a gun but this is not the case . It is just an average.
Please do not post answers visibly . Please hide them or post them later after the discussion.
one is the subject and requires a singular verb carries. E is the only one that does that correctly.
subject is "one" so it must take singular "carries"
between C and E.
to speak about a proportion of people/things having a particular attribute,
"x out of y" or "x in y" can be used. "x out of very y" and "x in every y" are just wordier versions.
also in C both sides are not parallel.
"that 1/2 of all american men keep a gun at home" and "that out of every 50 adults, one carries a gun"
=> the latter part of and has a prepositional phrase in front of the proportion.
E seems better

i got it now why A is wrong.. i was confused with the other form of one out of every.......
thanks guys..
i think "among" in D is incorrect or awkward..
