Princeton SC - Rather , Instead

by karthikpandian19 » Sat May 26, 2012 12:52 pm
Many people mistakenly believe that the potato is a food that is unhealthy and fattening rather than being both low in calories and high in necessary carbohydrates.

rather than being

rather than one that is

rather than one that has

instead of being one that is

instead of one that has

Gmatkiss,

Rather than "coloring" the choices, please provide explanation for each options. So that all the readers irrespective of their GMAT levels can understand your comments.
Learn and let others learn also. Hope you understand

IMO: B
negate 'instead' options as instead is used to replace ( when we are talking smthing of replacing)
eg- u cud hv colored the letters in brown instead of green.......
for rather , it is used for preference
eg- u cud hv colored only the first word rather coloring the whole sentence......
so left with ABC
A- negate coz of the word being..
C-has wont come..(potato is)
B- correct..
hope..its fine
