Pronouns : Advance Strategy

by nikhilkatira » Fri May 21, 2010 9:01 pm
The principles to determine how suitable a noun may be as an antecedent are

Repeats
Proximity
Case

As mentioned in Manhattan SC, the above mentioned principles are not absolute.
My Question is can these principles be "Make or Break" factor in GMAT ?

If the principles are not absolute, I'm guessing they wouldn't be "Make or Break" on the test. Your question is difficult to answer though because it's not clear (to me) what you mean by "Make or Break".

Of the 3 concepts you highlighted, if pronoun case is incorrect, there is no way the sentence will be correct.
