Job applicants often prepare for interviews by role-playing beforehand as part of an effort to anticipate every likely question.


a. prepare for interviews by role-playing beforehand as
b. prepare for interviews and role-play beforehand, which is
c. prepare for interviews by role-playing beforehand because this is
d. role-play beforehand to prepare for being interviewed, which is
e. role-play beforehand to prepare for being interviewed as

I know that as is used to compare clauses and a clause should always has a verb, but I can not see the verb in second part of the sentence. Please let me know if I am missing something or it is just morning blues :)
Thanks and Regards,

I believe this sentence exhibits the "preposition as", which is discussed in the advance section of MGMAT SC.
Yep.

IMO A.

You can go through various uses of 'AS' in advance Manhattan SC.

Hi all!

IMO A

Answer A presents proper use of conjunction 'as' and does not include errors
Answer C is illogical
Answer D presents wrong use of 'which' because it modifies 'being interviewed'
Answer B changes the meaning of original sentence. "preparing for interviews" and "role-playing beforehand" are separate activities here. 'Which' is wrong here
Answer E seems illogical to me. I think that expression "role-play to + verb" is incorrect.

If you don't agree with my reasoning, post here. Thanks!

Hope it helps!
Best,
Maciek

Maciek,

A is right, not because it uses the conjunction as but because it uses the preposition as correctly (followed by a noun)

a. prepare for interviews by role-playing beforehand as
c. prepare for interviews by role-playing beforehand because this is

I would definitely go for (A) but simply because its not wordy in comparison to C. Can someone explain how the highlighted part of (C) is wrong.

"this" is referring to role playing? right?

Thank you!

Pronoun "this" by itself without a noun following it will always be incorrect on GMAT.
Yep.
