Veritas prep test SC question

Most professional observers believe that despite the increasing popularity of new, digital information sources, the financial success of the weekly magazine-or at least some of the weekly magazines-seem secure for some time to come.

"seems" is the correct usage I feel. So D for me
You can, for example never foretell what any one man will do, but you can say with precision what an average number will be up to!

I would go with C

In D - placement of despite in latter part of the sentence is awkward.
A good question also deserves a Thanks.

Messenger Boy: The Thesselonian you're fighting... he's the biggest man i've ever seen. I wouldn't want to fight him.
Achilles: That's why no-one will remember your name.

I think its C

1)"seem" is wrong.
2)"Them" Looks wrong as it refers to "weekly magazine"singular.
3)Seems ok
4)"Usage of this is despite"looks awkwards.
5)"Seemed" should be seems
Whats the OA?

@manpreet and faraz,

Is the comma after that correct?are we supposed to pause after that and then say despite?

Good spot. I felt that C retained the implied meaning of the sentence more than the other choices.

Can we please have the OA? :)
